No need to fret...if your chiropractor damages your vertebral artery just dangle a quartz crystal over your neck and all will be well.

I suppose the neurologists just wanted to spread the blame a little, after the JAMA article which stated that modern medicine accidentally kills a couple hundred thousand people a year.

It seems to me that this is pretty old news. Most of us MDs have known for a decade or so about the risks to the vertebral artery.

Still, some chiropractors do a lot of good for their patients. (Some neurologists don't deal with that fact very well.)

(sarscam) And I am sure you would suggest just taking two aspirin for a pitched nerve, causing extreme pain, caused by a popped out vertebrae along the spine.(sarscam ended)

Chiropractors are needed sometimes, NOT everything requires surgery.

LOL very funny.

I once toured a chiropractic college and was appalled there was no library. There were however marketing classes and business orientation seminars.

Here in New York the sleazy chiropractors hook up with the most crooked lawyers and bilk the no fault, workers' comp, medical insurance and phony accident case civil litigation with endless mega-billion dollar complete fraud.

Chiropractic not a profession, it is a well connected criminal enterprise.
