Sandy Nette's Story

What about all the patients medical dr. kill? 'Any risk is too risky'? With that logic you couldn't take an asprin, let alone have any standard medical treatment, or walk across the street...

I put chiropractors right next to witch doctors when it comes to choosing medical treatment. Even if the risk was one in 10 million for paralysis, why would anyone take the risk. Go see a "real" doctor, not a wannabe.

Probably becasue it works a lot better than medical care. You can put them where ever you want, but that means very little.

@Zebra902
To be exact, I'm talking NMSK injuries.

you read through some of these comments and it's obvious some of these same people are absolutely clueless about the current research regarding chiropractic manipulation and stroke. i encourage people to read the facts from published research. i also will remind people that physical therapists and osteopathic physicians also manipulate the neck.

...He said it worked just as well, only it took longer. I said I didn't mind paying more if it was safer and more natural.

The risk of stroke from neck manipulations is one in one million, five million, ten million, depending on who you ask. But remember, that "one" could come up at any time! "Any" risk is too risky, in my opinion. I recently saw a chiropractor and discussed the matter with him. He offered an alternative tratment, called "mobilisation". I found it helped. He very slowly and gently moved my neck in the directions it should naturally move, and no further.

Dude, strokes don't generally happen bilaterally in the vertebral arteries. The DC ripped both of them trying to correct an imaginary problem and now she has locked-in syndrome. Incredibly sad.

That's either ridiculous or you went to a very poor one. Either way, a year? I've never seen anyone that long for a PI or otherwise. And if you received a pttance, it sure as hell wasn't because you couldn't tolerate his neck manips.
