Chiropractic Causes Strokes???
Manage episode 407291942 series 3559275
Chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine is a safe and effective treatment. According to a statement by the American Heart Association, approximately one in 1 million cerebral artery dissections (stroke) are caused by chiropractic manipulation. The Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics paper "Risk of Stroke After Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation in Medicare B Beneficiaries Aged 66 to 99 Years With Neck Pain." Their conclusion states, "Chiropractic cervical spine manipulation is unlikely to cause stroke in patients aged 66–99 with neck pain. For patients who saw a chiropractic physician, the adjusted probability of any type of stroke was lower than for those who saw a primary care physician." While cerebral artery dissections leading to strokes occur, the incident is so low that the risks far outweigh the benefits to patients. So if you're suffering from any musculoskeletal condition and are looking for treatment options, chiropractic should be one of your choices.
