As for the blanket statement that chiropractors are reckless, my first visit to the chiropractor for unrelenting headaches was a far superior diagnostic experience than the visit to an MD for the same complaint. The MD spent less than 15 minutes with me and wrote a prescription to be taken each time I had a headache, which was every day. He had never even met me before that day! In contrast, the chiropractor performed a thorough orthopedic and neurological exam and took x-rays that were read by an outside radiologist before laying one hand on me. On the day I received my first adjustment I walked into the office with the same headache I had every day for the last several weeks...and walked out without it! The headaches have not returned to this day and I will forever be grateful to the chiropractor who lifted that burden.

Your comments are fortunately, inaccurate. MD's prescribe medications that have far higher risk rates than those seen in Chiropractic, for example statins which are given to prevent heart attacks are actually linked to causing heart attacks. That does not mean MD's are Quacks and dangerous, they are just using the best tools that they currently have, as do chiropractors.<br><br>If you doubt my statin statement I'll write an article on that topic in the near future.

This is just proof that Chiropractors are reckless and that people should see MD's only. If chiropractors can't rule out a stroke they shouldn't adjust.
