Playboy and Instagram sensation Katie May took a nasty fall during a photo shoot last week, injuring her neck, and that is the leading candidate for what caused her fatal stroke ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge of Katie's situation tell us the accident happened late last week when she was shooting in Los Angeles. We're told Katie's neck pain after the fall was so bad, she went to a hospital to get checked out, and was released later that day.


But on Friday the pain remained -- she tweeted, "Pinched a nerve in my neck on a photoshoot and got adjusted this morning. It really hurts!"

Let's be fair. I've grown skeptical about a lot of these alternative techniques, but if chiropractic adjustments were really that dangerous, the news would be filled about people dying from them. Even if the adjustments did cause her to have a stroke, sounds like a terrible isolated incident. You are way more likely to die from the hands of a medical doctor.

THURSDAY, Aug. 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Getting your neck adjusted by a chiropractor or osteopathic doctor may be associated with an increased risk of stroke, according to a scientific statement released Thursday by the American Heart Association.


The energetic thrusts and rotations sometimes used in neck manipulation may cause a small tear in the artery walls in the neck, a condition called cervical artery dissection, the statement noted.

If memory serves, actor Kevin? Sorbo? had a stroke while walking out of a chiropractor's office.

His wife warned him not to let the guy adjust his neck, and he did.
 
My old bone cracker used to like to joke "What's the difference between a chiropractor and an assassin? An extra quarter inch of neck adjustment." Guess he wasn't joking. :eek:

Chiro is pseudo-science. The vast majority of people should stick with physiotheraphy because it's science-based and far better proven.

You'd probably say the same thing about Harvard Medical School, while turning people on to a Youtube video made by someone who is marketing their own line of quackery.

Logical fallacy. The source can be a clue as to the accuracy of the information, but it does not represent that the information is indeed inaccurate.

But coming from someone who thinks vaccines and GMOs are dangerous while disease and rotting food are healthy....there's really no reason for anybody not to question your opinions.

The surest way to never learn anything new is to think like everybody else. I already know the establishment's take on things... Thats why I dont need to go to a Webmd.. saturated fat is bad.... get a breast exam every year, etc etc.. ala the current wind of the day.

youve vastly exaggerating my method with your claims.

I thought they wanted their patients to be relaxed and not all tensed up?

Biller noted that the association between neck adjustments and stroke is difficult to evaluate. People who already have suffered an artery tear may seek treatment to relieve neck pain, which is a common symptom of cervical artery dissection that can precede a stroke by several days.

My DC never cracks my neck. He uses a tool.

:( That's a long time. If you're really afraid to go, you could try myofascial release. Magnesium oil also helps. Sometimes when I get a kink, I rub that in, lay down and massage my neck for a good half hour, and it's gone the next day.

I kind of agree with you, but otoh we can't deny that the market for chiropractic medicine is huge. Can all those people be wrong when they believe that visiting the chiropractor makes them feel better?

That is no guarantee of anything. Modern medicine is great, but it's not a Star Trek miracle scanner. For the most part, medicine hasn't change in a long time. A Doctor takes a 5 minute look at you, asks about symptoms, and probably prescribes a pain-killer. They wait for an actual failure before digging in deep. You could be in the hospital for a week and see a half-dozen Doctors, and they could have no clue. If you are lucky, you'll get a Doctor with experience and dedication to spend more than 2 minutes thought on your condition. Those Doctors generally don't come in until the half dozen fail to figure anything out.

I'm sure it helps some people feel better. But people have said the same thing about leeching, psychiatry, and all sorts of silly pseudo-scientific things. I don't mind if they use these "alternative" methods, but don't pass them off as sound as real medicine. It's pretty similar to the placebo effect.

Sure. It's as much an art as it is science. There's no reason to suspect a relatively rare malady when a couple dozen common issues can explain the symptoms.

The more computers get involved, the better off we will be. But the lobby will fight tooth and nail to keep that from happening. I remember when women had to get a prescription to get medicine for a yeast infection - the same stuff that's available OTC now. When the FDA was discussing the possibility of making it OTC, the news was full of scary stories from reputable sources about how dangerous it would be to allow women to self-diagnose.

I think psychiatry is more reputable than psychology. They have to be an MD. And certain conditions (schizophrenia comes to mind) require the specialization. Leeching - there is actually some legitimate uses.

I don't get it. But I know several people who went the more traditional route, then saw a chiropractor out of desperation, and swear by them. Surprising the medical lobby hasn't banned them by now.
