Well, the numbers are way higher than you want to admit. There was a comparison about 10 years ago and it broke down many healthcare procedures. At the bottom of the list of dangers was, yes, the chiropractic adjustment. About 5% as likely to cause a problem as aspirin (which is one of the safest medications). Our malpractice rates reflect this.

Well I had no shooting pain or tingling in my toes. When Carew Chiro in Iowa City (a******) pushed on lower back I started getting pain. He tells me walk it off it will get better. I don't get why there is descrimination in force applied by chiro and force we get from auto accicdent, fall etc. It is universal force F = MA.

@hiodr

agreed as the popular study that quotes the chiropractic stroke figure includes non certified personal, GP, physiotherapists and osteopathic manipulations of which actual certified chiropractors where accountable for 5% of the stroke figures. NOTE: more people have had a stroke or VBI having the hair washed at a hair dresser then via chiropractic adjust. PLEASE make sure your informed before spamming hate.

@Cael551 they're stupid clods experimenting with their patient trying to play "chiropractor". this is where a lot of the so-called "chiropractic" injuries originate.

@hiodr

Yes, but most that spam chiropractic hate are idiots that dont have the slightest clue. QUESTION -> if chiropractic manipulations are unsafe and nontherapeutic then why do physiotherapists and GP/MD perform them? want a monopoly much?

@LITTLEMISSYOUNGBLOOD How is that a lie? It's well documented. You're the one tied up in anecdotal evidence.

[LITTLEMISSYOUNGBLOOD]

@docsrocks what a fucking lie you stupid moron

[docsrocks]

@workingstiff76 Not sure how we "attemt" anything. What she says is heresay/guess. The research says, it can't happen.

[MandyBooVLDarkMoon]

O.o ouch!!

@docsrocks yes, BUT...........you are comparing medical doctors who deal with life and death situations with bone setters/chiropractors who deal with people who have a "crick" in their neck. Quote "the vast majority of chiropractic colleges only require a 2.5 GPA...Chiropractor says "NO NO NO, we are doctors because we take doctor classes and call ourselves doctors and look at my business card it says doctor and my patients call me doctor and and, darn it! I just want you to call me a doctor!

Check out the videos posted by Sandy Nette. She claims she was paralyzed by a chiropractic neck adjustment and I believe her. Chiros attempt to dispute this by saying their malpractice insurance is so low. I believe this is because the strokes caused by chiros usually go unreported, and in my opinion other than causing strokes, most chiros serve as glorified massage therapists
