You have a greater chance of having a stroke from...

turning your head when backing out of your driveway every day than by the type of adjustment shown in the second video. There are chiropractors that don't follow the proper protocol, such as in the case of the lady who said her doctor rolled her head to one side and "cracked' all her vertebrae and then did the same thing on the other side. No school teaches us to use that 'shot gun" approach to correct a subluxation. So he was not performing the chiropractic adjustment correctly.

But, the major thing I would like to add is that this shows only one technique of chiropractic. There are hundreds. Many use low or no force techniques that have no resemblance to the video shown at all. I use a technique called "Activator". I do not turn a patient's neck at all. I can adjust babies, the elderly, all with no discomfort. It has more research than any other low force technique. There is a web site,

if anyone would like to learn more. Anyone considering chiropractic treatment should do their research and pick a doctor that they trust will not adjust in that manner. He was attempting a technique that when done correctly is very safe, but he was, from the patient's description, not doing it correctly. There are bad doctors in all fields of medicine. Chiroptactic malpractice insurance is extremely cheap. that is because of the extremely low risk of anyone being injured. Medical doctors on the other hand pay tremendous amounts of money in malpractice premiums because, it is dangerous, much more dangerous to blindly trust the treatments of an md compared to a chiropractor.

Besides, in chronic conditions a medical doctor doesn't know how to "fix" it, except by giving drugs to mask symptoms. Going to a chiropractor and making sure your nervous system is sending all the proper signals to every cell in your body is the biggest favor one could ever do for themselves to regain and maintain health at the highest level their body is capable of. Along with excellent nutrition, exercise, and psychological balance in life, chiropractic care should be considered by everyone that decides they are living beneath their potential. Tweet
