Chiropractor and Stroke

Hi

April 2011 I had three strokes. However the Stroke specialists don't know why?

However before my strokes I used to get head aches. I am not sure, but many years ago, I was driving an eight tonne truck and it was full, but I was going back to Whyalla and there was work repairs and I stopped. Another truck  did not know about the work repairs and the truck hit my truck. My neck was sore and stiff. I finished after the accident and got back to Whyalla then unloaded my truck, but my neck was sore.

My ex wife and me was riding my push bikes we were living in Brisbane Qld. We probably rode almost every day. However I was still getting Head aches, so before I went to a Chiropractor to hopefully fix the head aches. Now I am not sure, but one week earlier I spoke to the chiropractor and stopped it but the next week I went to bed but I had three strokes.

There was quite a few news, and yes in my computer I saw things about Chiropractor and yes the Chiropractor might have created my strokes. Yes I have read quite a few and here is just one comment, "Having your neck 'cracked' by a chiropractor dramatically increases the risk of stroke"

Now my stroke was 2011 now the time now is 2019, near eight years.

When I had a stroke I was living in the hospital for four months. Physically I was pretty good, but Aphasia stopped me. I was not able to speak at all. In my hospital my ex wife asked about a banana but I did not know what it is? So again eight years, my Aphasia is not too bad, remembering, recalling, and chatting is now good.

So maybe I need a lawyer, but now I haven't got any money so I will ask and maybe somebody might try to get a claim against the chiropractor?

Here in Australia probably wont offer a job, because perhaps when somebody has had a stroke.

"Stroke is a very cruel thing", well I am not sure, yes I was doing work to audit and fix SAP, not too bad, but when I had a stroke I really don't remember anything. Is it cruel, well I don't think so now I only try to and yes "Life has changed"

Yes I still get depressed, and yes I am fatigued.

Regards

I really trust that many professionals know about Chiropractor and a Stroke, here is another comment,

"

"Professor Alan Breen, from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, said sound research proved neck manipulation had no more impact on vertebral arteries than normal neck movements.

 He added: 'It is simply not possible to "tear" a neck artery in the manner suggested by the U.S. researchers. It is extraordinary that anyone, let alone an experienced medical professional, has suggested such a possibility.'

 The neurologists behind the study, based at the University of California, San Francisco, found chiropractic treatment raised the risk of a stroke, regardless of underlying artery problems."

Hi Rod, how unlucky, life's a bummer and it is so hard to recover. Thanks for posting. I have read legimiate scientific papers as well that mention stroke following chiropractic manipulation of your neck. I searched ncbi with the relevant topic and it gives you free access to scientific papers.

There are heaps of issues re chiropractor and strokes, but nobody will try to help. I think that dont use chiropractors to mess with your neck! Time might be later....
