Malpractice Issues:
Chiropractic care is clearly a safer form of care compared to drugs
and surgery. According to several studies, Chiropractic spinal manipulation
is even safer than aspirin by a factor of several hundred fold. According
to Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the British
Medical Journal (BMJ), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory like aspirin
kill 16,500 people per year in the US. Drugs like Tylenol kill scores
more people. As unbelievable as it may seem, death and injury due
to drugs, unnecessary surgery, and mistakes is now the 4th most common
cause of death in the United States, behind only cancer, heart disease,
and obesity related disorders. Chiropractic care offers a safer solution
for the relief of common neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
