He didn't believe me when I said how bad I hurt, and how bad that hurt. I now am fused C3-7, my second. Am I the uneducated patient at the time, submitting to this, responsible? Or should I have been told, lets see what the true condition of my neck is, before we proceed? I see this through my own eyes, and I always try to direct folks, to DX before engaging in chiropractic manipulation, because of what happened directly to me. I do respect the profession. I just would want all the tests, had I known better at the time. ginnie

Sorry to hear, Ginnie. One of the few times I heard of someone being permanetly injured by manipulation in that manner, was on a same or similar type of manipulation by a doc down the road. Sort of an axial pull straight up; I am not a fan of that style of manipulation. And any doc that manipulates thru pain expressed by a patient, is insane and asking for trouble! Every profession has it's idiots.
