Model Katie May (age 34) Dead after Chiropractor visit for Neck Injury

The neck injury was 5 days before the stroke. She visited her chiro twice thereafter.

There is no way to know for certain but it is also possible that the original injury caused the damage which led to the stroke.

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

I'm not disagreeing with you on that. I'm just saying that these isolated incidences--that may or may not be true--don't really add up to much to be so concerned about in the scope of things. No one said chiro is 100% safe, but of the millions who go see chiro's each year and the relative handful of injuries caused by them in a year, it seems to be way more safer than western medicine.

My mother had a stroke. Two in fact. She's never been to a chiropractor. However, she did cook taco's the night of the first one. Avoid Taco Bell!

I would really love to see traditional medicine fatality numbers up against chiropractic fatality numbers.
