Chiropractic Induced Injuries: Strokes Following Upper Cervical Manipulation and Other

Any medical or therapeutic treatment or procedure carries risks of some kind. Even having your finger pricked to draw blood may result in harm or injury, as in the case of undiagnosed hemophilia, for example. Therefore, it is essential that a healthcare provider do a thorough history and physical of new patients and before doing procedures that have known risks.

Our Focus is on One Particular Type of Chiropractic Treatment

A variety of chiropractic induced injuries have been reported over the years. This Web site focuses on one specific chiropractic treatment: high-velocity upper cervical manipulation. An increasing number of stroke victims — many of them young and healthy, with few or no known risk factors for strokes — have reported having received chiropractic upper cervical manipulation within 30 days prior to their strokes.

Chiropractic Stroke Awareness Organization is dedicated to understanding, evaluating and researching the risks of stroke induced by chiropractic upper cervical manipulation. Contact us to learn how you can join us in our quest to raise awareness and increase knowledge about this issue.
