Is there a connection between strokes and Chiropractic treatments?
This risk is very rare. The research literature estimates the risk of having a stroke that may be related to Chiropractic treatments to be one in several millions of treatments (from anywhere from 1 in 400,000 to over 1 in several millions). In fact, scientific literature suggests that you are about 5 times more likely to be hit by lightening or suffer a stroke in normal daily living, such as from head movements, medication or vascular disease, than you are association with chiropractic care.
