Woman Suffers Stroke After Sneeze

Miami Beach Chiropractor & Sports Injury Specialist - Dr. Todd Narson
For decades now my profession (chiropractic) has been blamed by neurologist and anti-chiropractic groups for causing strokes after cervical spine manipulation. However research has proven otherwise with showing that the risk of stroke is between 1 in 1 million to as little as 1 in 5.85 million. Which is more than it occurs in the general population. According to the American Heart Association, in 2010, in the United States, 4.3 people per 100,000 suffered a stroke. That's 4 people out of 100,000 people - just regular folks simply walking around living life.
When you compare it to modern medicine; well, let me just quote the source and you read it for yourself:
"In 1998 a Canadian team of researchers, led by Dr. Bruce Pomeranz, found that 106,000 people die annually in the U.S. from properly prescribed medications. No "mistakes" were made here--these drugs were the right amounts, given to the right people, at the right time--and still ended up killing 106,000". Carolyn Dean, MD" Click here to read the full article
Statistically, going to a chiropractor reduces your chance of getting a stroke. But strokes have been triggered (more often it seems) from coughing, sneezing and even cases where people had a stroke as they had their hair washed at the hairdresser (called barber shop chair stroke). Interestingly, you don't see these "anti-chiropractic" and neurologist groups calling for people to stop sneezing, coughing and going to get their hair washed and cut.
The following is the link to the article. After you read the article, read the comments as there is someone that describes the same thing happened to her but from a cough.
In light of the June 2009 report to congress on the effectiveness of chiropractic for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and hip pain where chiropractic was 61% effective and medicine was merely 12% effective, I'm not so sure if I was a neurologist or anti-chiropractic advocate that I'd be pointing fingers. Because more and more evidence points to the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care. Just like we've been saying for, ehh...about 100+ years
