I had a very bad experience that I have spent 1 year recovering from (including 3 months in bed) dizzy spells where I can't drive or walk, vomiting, severe pain, headaches, I could not look down for months, I could not walk with out pain, I could go on and on. I won't go through all the details (a year of hell) and dollars spent on MRI's and therapy, but I will sum up the end result. They think that I had a small stroke due to the neck manipulation and it pulled all the muscles in my neck and back and it might take 2 to 5 years for the muscles to calm down (Ijust saw the neurologist yesterday. And my therapist and my neurologist both said they have patients that are quad and paraplegic due to this, and my accupunturist treats a doctor and was tellig him the same story of one of her patients. The neurologist said that the chiropractors keep him very busy. He said too much info is passed in the spine at the neck to the rest of the body and things can go wrong fast. All 15 doctors have said to me "NO ONE touches your neck EVER" , wish I knew that before. All the doctors had no problems with any other adjustments, unless they included the spine. My neurologist suggested accupunture for pain relief, So I went to that not expecting much. It was amazing, finally I got some relief. The sad part is I was not having back or neck problems, it was a wellness program. I knew other people that swear by him. All I can say is it was the wrong thing for me. |
