Common Chiropractic Accident Injuries

Back and neck pain can significantly impact your quality of life. Just like any other medical condition, it is in your best interest to seek treatment for neck and back injuries. One common type of treatment for these injured body parts is chiropractic care and treatment. Although chiropractic medicine can be beneficial, there are risks that could leave patients seriously injured.

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on issues with the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system and the impact of these issues on general health. Chiropractic care and treatment is generally used to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, such as:

Back pain
Neck pain
Pain in the joints of the arms or legs
Headaches

Chiropractors practice a hands-on approach to health care that includes examination, diagnosis and treatment. They do not prescribe medication. One of the most common therapeutic procedures performed by chiropractors is spinal manipulation (often referred to as “chiropractic adjustments”). While these manipulations can provide pain relief, they can also result in serious injuries.

Common Injuries Suffered from Chiropractic Care

The most serious and common injury that can be sustained by patients as a result of chiropractic manipulation is stroke. Other potential injuries that can result from chiropractic procedures include:

Pinched arteries
Spinal stenosis
Frequent headaches
Numbness/tingling of limbs
Vertigo
Facial paralysis

Chiropractic adjustments of the mid and lower back can also result in serious injuries such as:

Bone-weakening disease
Disc herniation
Muscle weakness
Bladder and bowel paralysis

All of these injuries are serious and life altering. If they result from sub-standard medical care and treatment from a chiropractor, it might warrant a lawsuit. Similar to other medical malpractice cases, there are statute of limitations, which is why you should seek immediate legal help after an injury.
