@GaltMD@anniodarone3 I didn’t write that.
If the chiropractor was aware of the recent medical intervention of course he or she shouldn’t have done HVLA but thus far we don’t know what the chiropractor did
I can only try to discover what the MD told the patient since that appears to be the report
@Blue_Wode Looks like several contraindications were missed.
“…persistent headache that she attributed to stress and sleep deprivation while caring for her 6-month-old son.”
@Urodoc46@nu_skewl@aakashgupta Not really. It’s considered a rare condition and those cases with a high probability of causation due to HVLA are usually due to missed contraindications or improper technique.
I take it you aren’t familiar with the research on the topic.
@Blue_Wode “It is postulated that an overly forceful or improperly directed thrust could produce a small dural tear…”
So most likely a practitioner error?
@Pinkgobi@sulmoney Ah, the ad hom sets in. This tends to happen when someone has a weak position.
(Psst, look up the difference between causality vs high probability)
@policywishes@Donkeyhead6@psych_biscuits First one had to establish the stroke risk of seeing a chiropractor and compare the stroke risk to seeing a physical therapist. If there aren’t any such studies then your request can’t be answered.
@Blue_Wode@EdzardErnst To my knowledge cervical spinal manipulation (HVLA) on children of this age is not taught at any US chiropractic college.
If you are aware of any such teaching, let us know.
