Here is the accepted published data on the safety of medicine vs. chiropractic. You Decide.
The risk of a stroke from a chiropractic adjustment is 1 in 1 MILLION (Haldeman DC, MD, PHD, Top Clin Chiro. 1995; 2(3)) You are more likely to be struck by lightning!! Don't be fooled by the media.
"The Risk of a neurological complication from a chiropractic adjustment for children is 1 in 25O MILLION" ( J of Vert. Subluxation Research, Jun 1998). It is barely even conscionable!
This is the accepted data. Lets compare to medicine and you decide what is safe:
Macleans, Aug. 13, 2001 "40,000 deaths per year in Canada from medical mistakes, the equivalent of a Jumbo jet crash every 3 days!"
"The Risk of death from Anesthesia is 1 in 1000". (Chapman-Smith, The Chiro Report, May 1994)
Tylenol kills more people than COCAINE!! (Jan.12, 1998 Forbes Magazine, "J&J's Dirty Little Secret")
"180,000 deaths per year occur from medical mistakes, the equivalent of 3 jumbo jet crashes every 2 days!" (Dr. Lucien Leape, Harvard school of Public health -- JAMA, Dec. 21 1994).
It is more than clear what the safest health care on earth is. You are more likely to be struck by lightning than suffer permanent injury from a chiropractic adjustment. Now you know the truth and can enjoy the benefits of Chiropractic for your health and Wellness.
