North Carolina Chiropractic Malpractice, Personal Injury, Social Security Disability Attorneys

Chiropractic medicine is increasingly popular with thousands of adults seeking chiropractic care each year.  However, many patients are unaware that a poorly performed chiropractic neck adjustment can be extremely dangerous, causing deadly side effects include stroke.  North Carolina residents who suffer serious harm as the result of a chiropractic adjustment may be the victims of chiropractic malpractice, and they and their families have the right to seek financial damages.

Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous because they focus so closely on the neck, where vital arteries pass into the brain stem. Any injury to an artery has the potential to cause clots or breakages that can lead to strokes, including:

• Brain Stem Strokes – The brain stem controls many involuntary life support functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, speech, and body movement. A brain stem stroke can result in paralysis or damage to areas that control breathing or alertness.
• Carotid Artery Strokes – Carotid arteries are located on the front of the neck and carry blood to the brain. A sudden chiropractic rotation can cause a carotid artery stroke.
• Cerebellum Strokes – The cerebellum controls many reflexes and body movements including balance and coordination. A chiropractic neck adjustment can injure an artery, causing a blood blot in the cerebellum, producing a stroke. A cerebellum stroke can cause abnormal reflexes, coordination and balance problems, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
• Visual Strokes — Visual strokes involve damage to areas of the brain that control vision. A chiropractic neck adjustment can impact peripheral vision, or a blood clot that causes a blockage in the area of the brain involved with vision.

Although traditional medicine has long established that chiropractic neck adjustments pose serious risks, there are many chiropractors and patients who swear by this nontraditional treatment.  Unfortunately, it is the patients who ultimately suffer when a chiropractic adjustment goes awry, and the damage may not be immediately apparent.

Chiropractic-related strokes, in particular, may not show up for weeks or even months after the adjustment – making legal action complex.  In order to receive financial compensation, a patient or loved ones must be able to clearly demonstrate to the court the link between the chiropractic care and the resulting injury.

North Carolina residents who suspect that a chiropractic neck manipulation led to a stroke should consult a chiropractic malpractice lawyer right away.  An attorney experienced in chiropractic malpractice claims can evaluate the circumstances surrounding the injury and summon qualified medical experts who can provide valuable testimony for the case.
