Science Sometimes - Stroke and Chiropractic

Oct. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Dr. Stephen Perle who is professor at the Bridgeport College of Chiropractic discusses the current scientific evidence based findings on the association of chiropractic neck manipulation and stroke.

This is a rare event that has been shown in a recent study to be just as prevalent for someone with neck pain and/or headache after visiting a primary medical doctor as after visiting a chiropractic doctor, which strengthens the current thinking that the the strokes are usually already in progress at the time of the visit. Remember association does not equal causation.

Below is a link to  Dr. Perle's blog in which he writes about this important issue.
