On June 16, recent Georgia Southern University graduate Caitlin Jensen visited a chiropractor for an "adjustment to her neck", according to a GoFundMe page established to offset her medical expenses. After the adjustment, Jensen "became ill" and hospitalized, where tests revealed she had four dissected arteries within her neck.
"This damage led to cardiac arrest and a stroke, as well as a loss of pulse for over 10 minutes after which she was revived," the fundraising page reads. "Once the doctors were able to stabilize Caitlin, she was rushed to surgery. Doctors were able to repair some tears and placed a stent in one artery."
Caitlin's mother Darlene Jensen told WSB-TV that doctors believe the young woman's stroke occurred "as a direct result of the neck manipulation."
"The surgeon ... that saved her life, and every other doctor that has looked at her, have all agreed that this happened as a direct result of the neck manipulation," Darelene told the outlet, in a story published Monday. "The chiropractor called 911 and then called me and told me that she was 'having a reaction to the treatment.'"

An elderly neighbor of ours was killed by the local chiropractor in much the same way. This 'doctor' was so accomodating that he made house calls to her home every week. Not once did he suggest she lose some of her massive weight in order to be more mobile. After a neck 'adjustment', she died.
Same prick proclaimed all the pain, snapping, and popping my grandmother was experiencing was just her need to be 'adjusted'. Yeah, not quite, it was bone cancer that couldn't be treated by the time she finally saw an actual doctor.
I can't believe that with all the limitations on what is covered within our healthcare system, these quacks are able to carry on and collect.
I'm your huckleberry.
