What is chiropractic medical malpractice?

Chiropractic medical malpractice occurs when a chiropractor's negligence causes patient injury. This may involve misdiagnosis, improper treatment, or failure to meet standard care practices. Common examples include nerve damage or worsening conditions due to errors during adjustment. If you suspect chiropractic malpractice, consult a medical malpractice lawyer promptly.

Examples of Injuries Caused by Chiropractic Errors.

When chiropractors move joints beyond their normal range of motion, it can lead to serious injuries, including:

  • Strokes: Often caused by cervical arterial dissection (damage to carotid or vertebral arteries).
  • Nerve Damage: Resulting in numbness, tingling, or other sensory issues.
  • Vertigo: A sensation of dizziness or loss of balance.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, potentially causing pain or mobility issues.
  • Herniated Discs: Displacement of spinal discs leading to pain or nerve compression.
  • Pinched Arteries: Restricting blood flow and causing complications.
  • Muscle Weakness: Loss of strength in affected areas.
  • Facial Paralysis: Loss of muscle control in the face.
  • Incontinence: Bladder or bowel paralysis leading to loss of control.
  • Aggravation of Bone Diseases: Worsening conditions like osteoporosis or arthritis.
