Are chiropractic treatments on the cervical spine dangerous, especially with regard to the risk of having a stroke?
Chiropractic is a recognised treatment for musculoskeletal disorders worldwide and is the third largest healthcare profession in the western world. After dental and general medicine chiropractic is the third largest medical field in the western world.
Chiropractors follow a five-year course of study, including a practical year which includes knowledge of general medicine, orthopaedics, radiology, radiography, physiology, and neurology. Chiropractors have been trained like this since 1895.
When a chiropractic treatment is carried out by expert hands, in other words, by a chiropractor, the treatment is completely harmless! There is no risk of suffering a stroke.
Recent research even verifies that there is no causal relationship between chiropractic treatment and stroke! The figures show that strokes occur equally rarely in medical doctors’ practices as with a chiropractor.
Efe Gökpinar, the proprietor of IHR-CHIROPRAKTOR wishes to point out that since the beginning of his training in 1993, as well as throughout his entire chiropractic career, not a single case has come to his attention where chiropractic is treatment has led to the occurrence of a stroke.
Chiropractors work exclusively with their hands without the use of medication, injections or surgical interventions. The side-effects of common medications such as ibuprofen (NSAIDs) or aspirin have a significantly greater and measurable risk of causing serious damage to health.
