MONEY TALKS!
Many low-blow smear tactics are used by opponents of chiropractic. One of the latest is the accusation that chiropractic adjustments cause strokes. Our accusers say that adjustments to the neck may cause the vertebral arteries to tear resulting in a blood clot that could travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Is this true? Not according to scientific research.
MEDICAL STUDY SAYS CHIROPRACTIC DOES NOT RAISE RISK OF STROKE
In a medical study published in Spine magazine 2/15/2008 vol 33 issue 4s-pp176-s183, Professor of medicine Frank Silver and director of the university of Toronto’s stroke program concluded “We didn’t see any increased association between chiropractic care and usual family physician care and stroke. The association occurs because patients tend to seek care when they’re having neck pain or headaches, and somtimes go to a chiropractor, somtimes to a medical physician. But we didn’t see an increased likelihood of them having this type of stroke after seeing a chiropractor.”
All forms of healthcare, whether it’s acupunture, massage, chiropractic, medicine or surgery have potential risks however small or large they may be. The malpractice premiums a specific doctor pays tells a great deal about the risk. For example a medical doctors malpractice premiums is in the tens of thousands annually because the risk is very high. Chiropractic malpractice insurance is only $1,500 annually. Why so low? It’s a safe procedure with very low risk.
So don’t believe the anti-chiropractic hype. Scientific research prooves it’s safe and the insurance premiums prove it’s safe.
