Aggressive Chiropractic Maneuvers Causes Extensive Neurological Damage

Case Overview

This case involves a nurse who sustained a work related neck injury that was isolated to the C5-C6 area of her spine, which later worsened, allegedly due to a physical therapist. After her injury, the patient went to a physical therapist that manipulated her neck with various maneuvers that made the condition worse. The patient developed signs and symptoms suggestive of a bulging disc. She subsequently required several surgeries to repair the neurological damage.

Questions to the Chiropractic expert and their responses

Is this a known complication of the procedure?

If this is a case of the physical therapist stepping in and giving an adjustment, then it is not only negligent but it is practicing chiropractics without a license.
