Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Is your back in safe hands? (Filed: 23/03/2006) An expert has claimed that spinal manipulation can be dangerous. Judith Woods assesses the risks Every day an estimated 80,000 people visit an osteopath and a further 50,000 seek out a chiropractor to alleviate their back pain. So what are they to make of a damning indictment of those who practice these therapies by Britain's leading expert in complementary medicine? Chiropractors and osteopaths deal mainly with headache and back and neck pain Should they continue to pay fees of up to £60 an hour to have their backs ''cracked'', their joints pulled apart or their muscles teased out? Or should they dose up on painkillers instead? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS & grid=P8 & xml=/ health/2006/03/23/hosteo21.xml#cc Sears PDX Quote
