Chiropractic stroke injuries have been reported in medical literature, yet the serious risks of upper neck manipulation are not yet widely known. You probably had never heard of a stroke induced by a chiropractic neck manipulation, also called cervical adjustment, until you or a loved one suffered the stroke injury. It’s a sadly familiar story. However, you do have legal options.
The Abelson Law Firm created this Web site to help improve awareness of chiropractic stroke victims and the injuries caused by these neck adjustments. Our website is www.chiropracticstrokevictims.com.
Chiropractors don’t like to admit that neck adjustments may cause strokes. Often times they deny that a stroke can occur due to their own manipulation. Yet the medical literature is clear that this indeed happens. The frequency of chiropractic induced stroke is unclear and most cases go unreported.
For example, the adjustment may cause a tear in the vertebral artery of the highest neck while the patient is on the table. The arterial tear causes a slow internal bleed in the intimal lining of the neck artery; a clot then forms, the clot breaks free and occludes the flow of blood to the brain, causing the brain stem stroke.
The stroke victim may not associate the two events. The family may never know that the victim had recently undergone a neck manipulation by a chiropractor. Therefore, it is obvious that these cases are under-reported in the medical literature.
Slowly but surely, word is spreading that chiropractic manipulations carry grave risks. Autopsy reports throughout the country, conducted by independent state medical examiners, have confirmed that chiropractic neck manipulations caused stroke and death of the patient. You should know what the risks are before a chiropractor abruptly twists a vulnerable area of your body.
I hope you will find the Web site helpful. It contains informative pages about different types of strokes, an explanation of why a neck manipulation injury isn’t always immediately obvious, the signs and consequences of a chiropractic stroke, background about chiropractor training and why you need a lawyer if you or a family member has suffered a chiropractic stroke.
