New Legal Pages Warn Chiropractic Patients About Risk Of Stroke Following Neck Manipulation

Attorney Michael A. Abelson Accepting Cases Nationwide Involving Chiropractic Malpractice

Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 12, 2009 -- Explaining that the risk of strokes following a chiropractic neck manipulation is widely under-reported, attorney Mike Abelson has added new pages to his Web site to inform consumers about this serious health concern.

"It is important for chiropractor patients to understand that a stroke may occur immediately following a chiropractic neck manipulation -- or it may occur several weeks following a cervical manipulation," said Abelson.

It is important for chiropractor patients to understand that a stroke may occur immediately following a chiropractic neck manipulation -- or it may occur several weeks following a cervical manipulation

When a bleed occurs in an artery following a chiropractic neck manipulation, the thrombus or clot may not break free and block blood flow to the brain until days or weeks following the cervical adjustment

Thus, most victims of a stroke may not recognize that the chiropractic manipulation, that was performed days or weeks earlier, was the cause of the stroke.

It is for this very reason that the connection between chiropractic neck manipulation and stroke is under-reported in medical literature
