Malpractice insurance premium
rates are based upon risk – the higher the risk of injury from a given
treatment, the higher the malpractice insurance rates for providers of that specialty.
Doctors of chiropractic who treat children have the same malpractice insurance rates as those who treat
adults, meaning pediatric chiropractic care carries no increased risk.
Doctors of chiropractic have
some of the lowest malpractice insurance rates of all primary health care
providers in the United States (including medical doctors and osteopaths). The
translation: services provided by a doctor of chiropractic carry the lowest
risk of harm.
