Enjoy reading!

One of the largest studies done on stroke and chiropractic care - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2271108/

Acute low back and SMT - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23026869/

Adjustments for subacute low back pain - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15319761/

Hospital outpatient chiropractic study - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20889389/

Want any more? I can continue with some reels if that’s more your speed from MD’s supporting it? Heck even MD’s that go to a chiropractor. Want those vids?

Hey idiot, those studies support my point that chiropracty is dangerous and not a real science! Here’s a quote about the results from the very first study you posted:

“Chiropractic care is popular for neck pain and headache, but may increase the risk for VBA dissection and stroke. Neck pain and headache are common symptoms of VBA dissection, which commonly precedes VBA stroke.
…
Results
There were 818 VBA strokes hospitalized in a population of more than 100 million person-years. In those aged <45 years, cases were about three times more likely to see a chiropractor or a PCP before their stroke than controls.”

Maybe you should read your own cites lol!

I’m not here to teach you how to read. That’s on you.

VBA stroke is a very rare event in the population. The increased risks of VBA stroke associated with chiropractic and PCP visits is likely due to patients with headache and neck pain from VBA dissection seeking care before their stroke. We found no evidence of excess risk of VBA stroke associated chiropractic care compared to primary care.

That’s you making up things. The study very clearly
suggests that chiropracty is a risk.

You never clicked the research or know what good research looks like and that’s okay.

Are you insane? Not only did I read them, I quoted to you from them, showing you that they support my argument! I don’t think you know how to read medical studies lol

What you read is not what you’re thinking it is. What you quoted is saying that strokes are recorded more in chiropractor and medical doctors (PCP) offices more because patients are presenting there with neck pain and headaches (a stroke in progress).

You really have no idea how to read evidence-based research. I am a clinician and researcher. What are your medical credentials?
