Can Chiropractors Mess You Up

[Velvetorchid]

My question involves malpractice in the state of: AZ

I wish I could sue The Joint for messing up my neck but my obstacle is I don't know for sure if my arms now tingle because of the cracking or if it's because of a small aerial yoga accident or just bad posture. Anybody know if it’s possible for a chiropractor to mess up the nerves in someone’s neck just by giving them an adjustment? I’m in my late 20s so maybe this sort of nerve damage is normal at my age.

It's possible the chiroquacktor did it, but it's also possible that your previous incident did. Further, you won't know or be able to work the conditions until you get to a proper (MD or DO) doctor who specializes in such things. THen if he believes the chiroquacktor caused it and you have some LASTING injury, then you can consult a medical malpractice attorney to see if you can collect damages.

But the first step is to get a competent medical evaluation.

When you went to a doctor and asked him that question, what did the doctor say?

Of course it's possible, but so what?

[Guybrush]

Of course not. Quacks never screw you up - only bonafide real doctors.

[RoderickCullen]

Yeah it is possible.

I have no issue with Chiropractic care as I've had great success with it and acupuncture for pain relief and other conditions but of course a chiropractor can injure you the same way that any healthcare practitioner can. Hell, a GP can injure you!

You legal solution is to go to a doctor and get evaluated for possible nerve damage and then, based on that evaluation, go to a med mal attorney.
