Woman Paralyzed After Chiropractor Visit

- Last year, 29-year-old Caitlin Jensen was paralyzed after visiting a chiropractor. During her routine neck adjustment, her family says she suffered four ruptured arteries, a stroke and cardiac arrest. Jensen endured two months in the ICU followed by grueling rehab. Now, she is getting a tour of her brand-new Georgia home in her wheelchair. Jensen's mother says every day she's amazed by her daughter's fighting spirit and determination to walk again.
Thank you for reinforcing my fear of chiropractors
I never had a fear but I sure won't ever do it..
You should have that fear. It’s insane they’re so prevalent throughout our society. They’re not medical doctors. People get hurt in their offices everyday.
Just don’t do neck adjustments. Also go with someone with years of experience and not someone who has done it for 3 years
No Ive been to chiropractor multiple times. Popped my hip back in place and my neck a few times. Its just unfortunate luck of the draw really. She is incredibly blessed
@@SSW1FTT Or just don't go to a chiropractor. It is a fake science.
I used to see chiropractors. I thought it's the only way I would get relief. But after I started marathon training, I started seeing physical therapists and it not only fixed the pain I had before, but actually was addressing the cause of the pain - weak muscles in key places. Glad this woman has so much support.
Stress and lack of oxygen to certain parts of the body from holding your breath or not breathing properly as well. I used to be bed ridden because thought my back was out. I discovered it was called TMS. A doctor named John Sarno specialized in it and has videos on youtube. I haven't even had a headache in a year, let alone sore limbs
@@dixoncider5046 thanks
good chiropractors should be giving you exercises to keep you in place after youre adjusted. if they dont, then sorry but all they want is your money cause youre gonna be seeing them a lot.
@@emi.t123 But why go to a chiropractor when you can go to physical therapist or sports therapist.
@@TheCerovec Exactly.
This also happened to my cousin. The ‘’Best ‘’chiropractor in town popped my cousins neck and paralyzed him from the arm pits down….had to go straight to neurosurgery from the chiropractors office. Years of therapy and misery, eventually could walk again w a cane , but never the same. DO NOT go to a chiropractor!!!!!
Damn I didn’t realize that chiropractors were this risky
@@pixelzebra8440ye I’m never going
I forgot to mention a friend of ours who was a golden gloves boxer, went to another well established chiropractor in town for a “tune up’’. The chiropractor twisted his neck and cracked it so hard that he was numb on one side of his face for 3 DAYS! Our friend had muscles like a weight lifter, but he hurt him so bad he said I will NEVER go back to another chiropractor! Only by the grace of God did he regain his mobility again. People, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR ! All it takes is one wrong move and ……this or much , much worse could happen to YOU!
What happened with the damned chiropractor? Did he go to jail or something?
I hope your cousin sued the hell out that chiropractor.
The same exact situation happened to my cousin. She went to get a neck adjustment and then 15 minutes later collapsed and had to be rushed to the ER. We didnt think she was going to survive. After 2 months in the hospital and 2 years of intensive therapy she finally made a full recovery. It was a miracle. Her family is now suing the chiropractor.
I hope they find justice.
Need to jail that chiropractor ASAP
Name of the Chiro pls?
This young woman with her entire life ahead of her... my heart breaks for her and her family.
She has a fighting spirit and will bloom where she is planted.💐
Don’t be heartbroken. She hasn’t given up. She is a strong woman who will pull through. She will never be the same but she will show us she can keep going.
I'm hopful that thanks to the advancements of technologies like Neuralink she'll recover motor function within this decade.
Well she got a payday that afforded her a brand new gorgeous home and allows her mom to be her full time caregiver. I wonder how many people her age would take needing a wheelchair for a shot at home owner ship
Lies again? Capitol Hill Doctor Evil
i read this title as if the chiropractor just was strolling through her new house like "no big deal".. then i watched the video. i'm so sorry this happened to you caitlin. life isn't fairs sometimes, from watching this video you seem to be such a strong women! and your new home is beautiful. keep up the hard work, you got this
Same.. the title is weird
they should've added a comma after the word visit
Me too
Yes. Punctuation is a thing, Inside Edition.
Yeah. The title confused the fk out of me. I only realized what was meant several seconds into the video.
So everyone gonna be nonchalant and not even mention what sh*t-chiropractor did this to her!? Has anyone been charged for ruining this young woman's life??
No. He was not charged. He is still practicing 😒. There is some sort of law protecting chiropractors from lawsuits and stuff. It’s ridiculous.
What a loving brother and mother! We could only wish to have a loving brother like that!
I too was paralyzed after visiting a chiropractor. I was unable to walk for one year or so until I started doing physical therapy. Thanks to physical therapy, I'm able to walk somewhat normally. As my legal case lingers in the justice system, one day I hope I'll get justice. I'm glad to see that this young lady got financially compensated and recovering decently from her injuries.
What injury did you got?
Neck ?
wish you allll the best luck in your case!!! you definitely deserve justice.
Do chiropractors make you sign some form of waiver just incase?
@@jltaco85 Good question! I'd say they probably do as one elects to undergo such treatment. I worked in Medical Insurance Sales, and, chiropractic services were not covered. Only real doctors.
Yeah. Idk why people don’t realize that this isn’t normal. A chiropractor doesn’t do this. I never seen one but becoming paralyzed because of their negligence isn’t what should happen. Hope you get justice soon
As someone who is paralyzed, this is AMAZING aside from the misfortune of her paralysis. She is very LUCKY to have a home that was custom-built for her.
The home was obviously bought by the compensation from her being paralyzed. I'd hardly call that luck. She's lucky to have a loving mom, but the home is the least she deserved for a doctor paralyzing her.
@Derek I know people who were paralyzed by doctors in simple surgeries who received zero compensation. Now if she did receive enough compensation to buy a home she is lucky. NOW I was saying that she is lucky to have a home that was made for her because many people do not have a home like this for their entire lives.
That’s like a million dollar or more settlement
@cana cox You would think but you'd be surprised. I know this man who went in for a simple back surgery nothing super invasive. He had a disc that needed to be fixed if I remember right. Well, the doctor did the surgery and when he woke up he was paralyzed from with waist down. Well, he didn't get any money because of the contract/paperwork he signed before the surgery.
That's why the saying goes if you want to get away with killing people then become a doctor.
@@mybeautycorner1 Lmfao million dollar? Try 50. My friends father was blown up by a faulty tractor tire. Died in the comma a few years later. Family received a hundred million or so.
thank you caitlin for sharing your story. i used to go to a chiropractor routinely after fracturing my vertebrae in a car accident. i won't be going again. i've heard many nightmare stories but this one did it for me. she definitely saved many others from a similar fate. i also have to mention that her family is absolutely wonderful.
Good for you. It's a pseudo science and faux medical procedure that can, like in this case, make things a lot worse for you.
Try to see a physical therapist
First, I went to a chiropractor to fix my back, and then I realized doing Yoga was also a solution. It's cheaper & safer.
@@nepnep2115Agreed. Physical therapy works better for me. I stop going to a chiropractor because it never helped me and just a waste of money.
What @ acupuncture?
A former co worker was seeing a Chiro and we talked about it at length because I'll never go to one.
That was the last time I was ever able to speak to him. His wife confirmed to management that the Chiro did an adjustment that caused a blood clot, which traveled to his brain and after the coma...he was left paralyzed from the neck down. A few months later and he was dead. He was barely 30. Not worth the risk.
Stories like this make me realize how disgustingly ungrateful I can be sometimes. God bless her and her family 🙏🏽
It’s not a competition and it’s ok to have bad days. Well it’s ok to be bummed over bad days/times. Sounds like you’ll not take the good times for granted. And that’s a good thing 😊
@@anon_148 *further
Weird flex. God made her go paralized...
Whenever I'm depressed I come on RUclips and watch things like this to feel grateful instead of sad.
@@mugnuz I'm not religious but the only reason you said that was to be a dick. Why?
23 years ago a chiropractor ruptured my disc in the t-7,8 vertebrae. I was in the prime of my life (early 20s). I went from being totally independent to totally dependent on my entire family. I moved back home. I went through a terrible depression but with therapy, prayer and the support from my parents I was able to regain my independence. No I’m not walking but I still live life to the fullest..
"Prayer". Lol
That's horrible. Glad you overcame it. Not being able to walk is scary but guess it has it perks lol. Maybe the walking will come back to you with the advancements in the medical field. Goodluck, Godbless.
@@longjohnny except you, correct?
Did they give you a refund at least?
@@SammyGDude u got a problem kiddo?
I just lost my job along with health benefits and retirement saving and I thought it was the end of the world, I’m glad I watched this, it brought me back to reality.
How did you lose retirement savings?
Letting someone without an MD mess around with your bones is bizarre
Not just the bones but the arteries too
A chiropractor once told mt that his grades weren't good enough to get into medical school, so he became a chiropractor. I won't trust one with MY spine.
I don’t trust them period
@@MaxGr33nfan I don't either. I've heard it's more of a pseudoscience
Well, this happens in many industries.
@@cs2922 The entire idea is from a known quack.
Doctors in general do these things.
The love from her family is gonna be huge in her recovery.
Very true nicely said.
Mr. F I hope you know you have a family in the RUclips comments section as well and we love you ❤
Lucky she has a loving, tight knit family.
Blessed and lucky child.
For us not possible without funds n without supporting family members. May God protect us all.
Her support system, and outlook on life will mean everything. The fact that she said she just feels lucky to be alive shows her positive outlook, which is instrumental in healing.
The downside is, after a while, the mental trauma of it all will probably get to her. Someone needs to set her up in therapy ASAP.
I broke my neck a few years ago, and after all of the physical stuff settled down, the trauma of it all opened a floodgate of emotions. Knowing that your body will never be the same again, and you’re stuck like that is rough. Luckily for me, after two surgeries I was able to walk, move my arms, and eat again, after intense PT, OT, and speech therapy. Still disabled, have trouble eating, and need more surgeries, but also still grateful to be alive. I still had the same positive outlook as her the whole time going through it, and the trauma still hit me like a ton of bricks.
Not to mention going through the lawsuit (they freaking better sue) is mentally taxing, and keeps taking you back to through everything.
This is something they don’t warn you about in the hospital, naturally because they’re focused on the physical healing. I kind of want to find a way to advocate for mental health for people like this, but not sure how.
this is the maximum amount of recovery she’ll have sadly.
She is so incredibly strong. Can't imagine the grief of losing so much.
This is the second one I have seen this. My neurologist when I was having neck pain to never get your neck adjusted by a chiropractor. I’m thankful he told me that.
So many of the medical professionals never tell you the possible risks.
From my knowledge, chiropractors don't actually put anything "back into place." They just move the joints in a way that temporarily might relieve discomfort, however it will soon move back into its original spot and cause the person to keep on going to the chiropractor for the same results. It's not treating anything besides pain temporarily
My Dad went to one for decades. I once asked him when he would be cured. He got mad and said I just didn't understand. I told him no, I don't understand. I would never go to one.@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot
Neck adjustment gave my husband multiple strokes at age 25. 7 years later and he's fully recovered. He's lucky to be alive. So sorry this happened to you sweetheart! I hope you will walk and live a fulfilling life. I warn everyone about chiropractors now.
The whole thing is such a scam. Every problem you can ever have is resolved by simply cracking your neck, your back and charging you $59.99. You're now "re-adjusted," have a nice day!
Jesus! At 25?
Terribly sorry this happened to your husband. I hope you and your husband sued the living daylights out of your husband's chiropractor. That's insane. He should have his license permanently revoked, his practice closed, spend years in jail for negligence and your husband should be a multimillionaire. That's one of the saddest stories I have ever heard of. Not that this will ever restore your husband's health and make him full again but filing a lawsuit and holding the chiropractor accountable will ensure this never happens again to anyone else.
@@richardvonmeyer It would be from the clots formed during a rupture, not from clogged arteries or old age. Never going to a chiropractor!!!
Happens all the time and chiropractors never warn patients. I worked with neuro and endovascular surgeons who see patients all the time after neck manipulation due to stroke or carotid dissection.
How life can change in an instant... my heart goes out to her
Ya. That's why I'm not having children....
@@robertsandberg2246 Thats not the point
For what? For being stupid and believing in alternative medicine like Chiropractic? Its her own fault
That’s why we all should be grateful for everything we have, even if it isn’t much.
@@noddingbart6915
That's a terrible comment you made. I more than understand people choosing to avoid chiropractors; I've never been to one myself. But blaming her as if she chose to jump out of an airplane without a parachute is absurd. Statistically speaking, going to a chiropractor is safer than driving to work every day. This is hardly her fault.
I’m a neurologist and I ALWAYS tell patients not to get their neck manipulated by a chiropractor. There is a real risk of vertebral artery dissection.
Chiropractors will never admit to this because it affects their bottom line. Sad.
May God bless you
So where's the state medical board's supposedly protecting us if they know this is a very real problem...?
I've been going for 9 years and never had any issues
Never been to one and never will!! Damn shame she has a trach and all.
Good advice; besides it is clearly pseudoscientific tripe
...
I pray that this young lady can make a full recovery. This is so sad
She may regain some mobility but full recovery from a spinal cord injury is extremely rare
FULL RECOVERY, WHAT PART OF PARALYZED DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND
@@leelunk8235 As the person above stated it is extremely rare but they didn’t say impossible 🤷♂️
@@leelunk8235lol
This is exactly what I'm afraid of when it comes to chiropractors. One told me my neck was out of alignment and I'm sure he isn't wrong...but my neck is the absolute last place I would want one to put their hands on. I'm sorry this happened to her. So sorry and I pray she has an amazing recovery that is way beyond what anyone would expect.
If you practise mat and reformer pilates seriously for about couple years, your neck and spine will be perfectly in alignment.
I would sooner see a physical therapist
I mean, he was probably wrong
@@PKlips Is that something you can teach yourself?
@@JonFontana24 Just like any other sports, you have to practice with a pilates trainer/instructor.
I had a chiropractor do a neck adjustment, once, NEVER again. The cracking, the instant violent headache, the dizziness and nausea. Poor Caitlin, my thoughts and prayers for a good recovery.
Been seeing chiropractor years fixed my low back pain 🥳
Bad cases of spinal positioning can cause those symptoms almost always when that tension is released. But with that being said, I've been to a few bad apples as well. Luckily we found a solid one that does great work.
sensitive
@@jpete907 I always say whatever works! For me physio, IMS, massage therapy.
This is the kind of experience I got when i went to a cheap sweatshop chiropractor. I switched to an experienced one who is partnered with SickKids, and he fixed my posture issues and spine within 6 months.
I once went to a chiropractor on the advice of my physician. He had told me he was excellent & highly recommended. I ended up with 2 herniated discs in my upper back. I had excruciating nerve pain for weeks as the area healed. It took several months for the area to finally get better. I knew a boy in high school that was paralyzed from the waist down from a chiropractor. I will never see another chiropractor ever again.
This happened to my husband twenty five years ago, only lower back, two ruptured discs, and sciatic nerve issues ever since. Same as you, this chiropractor was highly recommended from his boss. I tried to tell my husband not to go, I was always skeptical of someone cracking my spine.
Oh my goodness I remember this from last June! I am so glad she did not pass away, her brother looks very happy to see her. Glad she’s still here.
My 33 year old wife got a routine chiropractic neck adjustment 18 months ago and during the procedure the chiropractor dissected her vertebral artery. She had a stroke on the table and lost movement down the entire right hand side of her body. She spent 4 days in ICU and 3 days in the stroke ward. Was the single most terrifying moment in our lives. Fortunately physically she made a recovery, but still struggles emotionally whenever she thinks of it or hears of stories like this. After doing research, it’s unbelievable how much this happens during chiropractic visits! We will never step foot in another chiropractors clinic and we tell absolutely anyone we can to never take the risk. Our heart goes out to Kaitlyn and her family. We hope she gets through this.
Wow😢
Did you sue the chiropractor?
😡
What caused the initial issues for your wife that made her seek chiropractic care?
@@shaunigothictv1003you can't lol, you lose any responsibility of ur body once you walk into one
A chiropractor dissected an artery in my neck by turning my neck too far. The chiropractor drove me to the hospital and dropped me off. I had a massive stroke, but by the grace of God am living a normal and healthy life. Praying for you Kaitlyn.
Horrible. Thank goodness you recovered. Did this fraud of a doctor get stripped of his license and were you able to sue for compensation?
Omg why didn’t he call an ambulance and how did you know did you seek legal compensation.
@@f.b.8254 this has also happened to people doing yoga and bending their neck to paint a ceiling… better outlaw yoga
Did you sue ?
I did not sue, and this Chiropractor is still working today in Lubbock Texas. We did consider suing, but our family was very against it. I can say that God blessed me through this whole situation. I did not ever hear from the chiropractor again. He has never reached out. I did have lots of questions, but again, I am healthy and happy now, and it is truly only by His grace. I do remember him picking me up and carrying me to his truck. Driving to the ER, the nurse coming out with a wheelchair, him explaining what happened and then leaving. That was on a Thursday, and I did not have the stroke until Saturday. I was married at the time, and I asked the chiropractor to call my husband. I did not ever receive one dime from the chiropractor.
I want to see where she is at in her recovery 5 and 10 years down the road. I pray for her for continued healing
This is exactly the reason why, even though I am in pain all the time I refuse to go to a chiropractor
I recommend percocet; it did wonders for my pain. I have been on 4 10/325 each day for 20 years with no issues. My doctor will not raise my dose, so that's why I never became addicted!!
It's worth a go. You might just be the unlucky one.
Just stretch
Admirable strength and courage. I hope for her fast recovery.
Ain’t no recovery unfortunately
There will be NO recovery.
What recovery. She’s paralyzed. I doubt she’s going to recover.
not with that mentality there won't be any, guys

@@Davoodoox1 I don't know the exact companies but they do exist to allow this. I had a family member do this same type of job for her child.
Maybe insurance
So lucky 🥹

@@Davoodoox1 A parent can become a certified caregiver and they get paid by the state. They still may need to get another part time caregiver just to give the mom a break sometimes. It’s challenging, but it’s a wonderful thing when a family member can be the main caretaker.
You're in my prayers young lady. Stay strong ❤️❤️
She is so blessed to have such a caring mother and brother by her side! ❤
My sister in law saw a chiropractor, who alleviated her pain, but it prevented the signs of her brain hemerrhage, so she collapsed a few hours later unexpectedly while cooking dinner and had to be rushed to the ER.
The chiropractor told her everything was normal and that she was fine when she left, and that he had to continue seeing her to alleviate her pain. The chiropractors also make you sign a waiver when you get in to prevent lawsuits, and the ER doctors told us that this happened way to often, where chiropractors in there limited ability make issues worse by hiding the underlying issue or cause multiple strokes or injuries to clients.
TLDR: Just see a doctor, there is a reason why chiropractors aren't included as part of the medical association.
Omg wow, I hope she’s okay
That’s why I never do this is dangerous just rather have a massage I hope she doing better now.
My chiro dr actually makes you go to a doctor before he will do any adjustments because symptoms should never be ignored. He will only do a adjustment if he thinks he can help. But ive met chiro drs who dont do that and it can be worrisome
I completely agree! In PA school we learned about how a lot of chiropractic adjustments can easily lead to severe complications. I feel like it's also a red flag that you have to sign a liability waiver before receiving treatment lol, kinda says everything you need to know right there!
They won't ever see me in their office.
This is horrific. A young woman with her whole life ahead of her now needs full time care. My heart breaks for Caitlin and her family. God Bless her.
Clearly god couldn't care less.
@@douchymcdouche169 This is a poor example of that considering she survived multiple ruptured arteries and multiple strokes, she's lucky to be alive.
@@XxXDestroyer “survived” is no miracle. It’s a tragedy. Her quality of life has drastically been lowered. And if she wanted to end it, she likely doesn’t qualify for death with dignity. Either way, what kind of god just barely lifts their finger and keeps someone alive just enough when they couldve prevented it in the first place?
@@AandM8 Of course this accident was a tragedy, but she survived an injury that should've taken her life. She's lucky to be alive and with her family today.
@@XxXDestroyer you could literally make that argument no matter what happens. You could say "yes they died but at least it was in their sleep" "yes they died a painful death but at least it was quick" "yes they died a long painful death but at least they died with loved ones around". To imply that people suffer less than they would otherwise because of God's mercy paints God as a pretty horrible person, because of how much suffering there is. He CHOSE for people to suffer this much? 💀

She's lucky to have such a devoted family,the practitioner who did it to her must be held accountable
And the wealth to actually be able to build a whole custom home to meet her needs.
Depends on whether or not the adjustment was routine or if they actually did something negligently wrong. Liability insurance companies only pay out if there is 100% proof the person did something wrong.

I had a chiropractor do that quick, hard neck adjustment and he made my neck worse. I'll never go back to one.
My father was an EEG tech many years ago and witnessed more than once mistakes made by chiropractors. He forbade us from ever visiting one. I share this story with others, yet they still choose to go.
Thank for telling all your stories you all had with a Chiropractor I was going th o go this week I actually mad an appointment with one in the city of Adelaide south Australia where I live I'm not going now thanks to you'll and seeing this story of Kaitlyn my God so terrible for a young person for this to happen just visiting once or so and now she can't walk again my God terrible! I'm actually going to make a new appointment to see a physio instead thanks again !!
There not all like that!.. do your research!!
Probably because it won't just happen to every1, an maybe that's y som still go rather it's taking a chance of getting better or of getting worse ...🙏
That's wise advice. I worked for one when I was very young, and learned enough to NEVER allow one to mess with my neck, even after a car accident years later, when I needed a few visits for my back. I mostly insisted on physical therapy. Even with PTs, you have to be very careful. There's a lot of incompetence going around these days. More frighteningly, there's also a lot of wickedness and pettiness.

Seriously! And may this only bring them closer. Maybe they can find a therapy pet to add even more love if they don't already have an animal at home.
I am a retired RN and used to work with some seasoned neuro RN’s who had a lot of stories about cases where people ended up paralyzed or having strokes from chiropractor “adjustments”.
This is why chiropractors should take every pt’s BP before an adjustment. They should know not to adjust the neck for pt’s with high bp to avoid any possibilities of a stroke

Years ago my doctor told me, in a very stern voice, don't EVER go to a chiropractor! And this is why. I hope she can overcome these obstacles.
the smallest accident can destroy multiple lives. hope she recovers!
This is the fear I have anytime I see a chiropractor in action
I pray she walks once again
Doctors kill way more people every day.
Who's going to protect you from me?
Same!
So why do you go
@@loujon191 When they said, "anytime I see a chiropractor in action", they mean by when they see them do it on youtube.
Gosh dang.
I went to a chiropractor for serious back pain after living with it for a whole month. 1 session done and i still felt the same. Told me he needed to see me 2 times a week for a couple of months ($80 co pay each visit). I said in my mind, no way i can afford that. I then found and did some yoga exercises for 3 days straight (the first day i felt instant relief) and was good as new.
IMO, adjustments can provide relief but do not address the root cause of chronic pain. Good chiropractors will prescribe exercises and or stretching. I had neck pain for years before realizing I had to strengthen postural muscles in my upper back
Increasing flexibility and range of motion is key.
If only “yoga” helped put dislocated ribs back into place 😂
1 session isn’t going to make it go away dummy🙄
It breaks my heart when I read about what happened to her and her struggles. No one wants this to happen to anyone! Especially heartbreaking when you hear it’s happened to someone so beautiful and promising.
Wow crazy story glad you made it. I've never heard about a story like this at chiropractors didn't know they could cause such a change in someone life
My brain almost got paralyzed trying to decipher the title.
*LOL* !!! Best comment! Because of you, my morning is starting off in hysterics! Thank you!
(I couldn't figure out the title either.)
Punctuation changes everything!
When I went for a "neck adjustment", the chiropractor took a tube sock and wrapped it around my neck and pulled, it was horrible. The next week, my life changed. I will never go back, I am not totally paralyzed, but I have trouble walking, one of my vocal chords is paralyzed, and I have sleep apnea, but I'm alive and blessed 😊
That's really messed up dude.
Really recommend seeing an osteopathic doctor, DO fully trained in practicing OMT to change your life back to better
jesus christ the chiropractor did a mortal kombat K.O on you
Yeah, and have seen some ads that show something like that and it's awful 😞. I really much rather go to a massage therapist
They Hit u with that poor man’s ring dinger
Thank you for your story.
I went to a Chiro and she did the normal adjustments but then started adjusting my toes, I questioned her because it hurt and she said she was ‘very thorough’. Well next morning when I woke up, I could not walk, I went to a specialist who referred me to another, I had to get crutches because I couldn’t walk. Thank god it lasted only a couple of days but the Chiro turned around and said her adjustments could not have caused that.
my late sister passed away after a visit to a chiropractor. Also because of a neck adjustment. It was a big news in Jakarta back in 2015. This story makes me wonder whether chiropractic treatment is safe.
What do they do, just snap the neck and hope for the best?
@@HollieMoodiethey just throw your head around and hope it fixes the problem
It's not safe.
At best it isn't usually that helpful. It can be quite unsafe
Sorry about the loss of your sister but MDs make even more mistakes that lead to death. We just don't hear about them as much in the news because hospitals and clinics have much more money than the chiropractors do.
“And you won’t believe how it happened.”
I absolutely believe that this would be caused by a chiropractor. No doubt in my mind.
Yes. Naturally!
I wonder what happened to him??
@@rubylimey7614 right. I'm curious.
In this case, she most definitely had a bigger medical problem in her kneck, but thought all she needed was an adjustment because she was in pain already, but that wasn't the case. Anyone who would've cracked her kneck would've done this also to her.
Yeah, right? Haha.
i know a couple chiropractors and i smile and nod when they talk about what they do because I have no respect for it and this video reconfirms my thoughts. I used to crack my neck, i played football as a kid, I had one severe accident, now my upper spine pops in and out of place. it was good for maybe a year and just last week i had an episode that left me in a lot of discomfort and a constant headache, it fortunately seemed to pop back in to place after about 5 days. To anyone who cracks their back or goes to chiropractors who have relatively healthy spines..DON'T DO IT..do not crack your back/neck or allow anyone to do it, once it goes wrong you will regret it for the rest of your life. when those idiots crack your neck they would have you believe it is a perfectly precise procedure when there is no possible way they can know exactly what is about to happen
Wow must have gotten a 10 million dollar settlement and she deserves it all hope she can walk and talk again someday 😢
My neurosurgeon always tells me never let anyone manipulate your neck. This is awful. Poor girl🙏🏼
Then the very person you should NOT let touch your neck is your neurosurgeon
@@manikyum you think you’re smart?
@@ItsJustAdam2 Smarter than the average Joe. Through sheer common sense. Wow how did I do that!??
@@manikyum you’re just a overly paranoid man who think’s he’s above average
@@manikyum your common sense is dumb. Please shut up
That same thing happened to my father as well. The surgeon that saved him that day said it's really not that unusual unfortunately.
That's horrific, poor girl, well done to her for making the progress
Chiropractic should be illegal
I played football many years and my neck is really bad. I went to a chiropractor maybe 6 or 7 times and it did help, but was always temporary. I spoke with a physical therapist and she told me the dangers. I had no idea. She warned of stroke dangers. I had no idea that people could be paralyzed. I hope she makes a full recovery.
Once there was a case like this in our country Indonesia. A daughter of a Professor who is student of doctoral degree too in Australia, visiting a chiropractor named Dr. Randall Caffeety when she was in Indonesia. Her name is Allya Siska Nadya. After second visitation , she felt so ill in her back and neck...not long after that she became paralyzed and soon fell into coma..and dead.
@@celineprng9172as an Indonesian, I've never heard that story. Time to do some digging
To anyone reading this: See a physical therapist, not a chiro
It's sad how chiropractors get over on people. They obviously have no conscience.
physical therapists and chiropractors compete so they will all try throw shade on each other.
This happened to a friend of mine. She got her neck adjusted and it caused a stroke. She was able to walk afterwards, but now lives with life long nerve pain and has hyper sensitive hearing which prevents her from doing many of the daily activates the rest of us take for granted. She also lost her job as a result and the chiropractor wasn't insured so she was unable to sue them. It essentially wrecked her life.
Why couldn't she sue him just because he didn't have insurance?
@@hajimenagumo2199 he wouldn’t have any money to pay even her lawyers.
i hope she got all of that idiot's assets in a lawsuit. house, cars, everything
Yeah nah the law isn’t that plotholed, if the IRS can arrest a bum off the street for not filing his taxes, you can sure as hell sue a broke man.
@@delanuma5 my aunt tired to sue a contractor for taking her money and not completing the job. He transferred all his money to his spouse then filled for bankruptcy so she was unable to get back her money. So trying to sue a broke man isn't as easy as may appear
What an awesome brother and mom!!
Oh god, this is so devastating. Really heartbreaking.
I used to work inpatient neurology and sadly this and strokes after having a chiropractor worked on your neck were more common then you’d think
So question, what about these adjustments causes strokes and vessel ruptured? I’m trying to understand the mechanism 😢
Man this one messed me up, what a terrible accident. I’m glad she has wonderful family that’s more than happy to accommodate her and join her on her journey. My sister was in a wheelchair for most of her life and it would’ve been awesome to have a house laid out for it. I couldn’t imagine having to watch your child go thru this.
What a supporting family 😢❤
My friend’s dad has had chronic and debilitating back pain for 10 years after a chiropractor broke his back during an adjustment. It absolutely ruined his life.
broke his back jeezuz
Broke his back no way. He would have had to have super human strength to brake his back during an adjustment
@@lorraine41879 That's what he told me. I mean this woman got paralyzed. Given the ways they crank on your back it doesn't seem far-fetched that an incompetent chiropractor would be able to break your back or even paralyze you.
This is so devastating. I pray she is able to walk/talk again. She is very strong and she has a wonderful family behind her!
This happened to my mother. Went for a back massage for back pain she's been having over the years. That was the last time she walked.
Wow from a massage and not even an adjustment?
Yikes really?? That happened over just a massage??
GOD Bless you Caitlin..wishing you well on your recovery 🙏 ❤️
The bright side of this whole tragedy is her loving and supportive family. I couldn’t imagine what her life would look like if she didn’t have them.
The bright side is that her neck pain is probably gone
God will test within ones limit.
Imagine when this happens to someone who doesn't have an amazing family? In a state where Healthcare sucks? Yea me either.
@@productrecall5183 yeah, it would be bleak.
Agreed. She is truly blessed to have such a wonderful family that willing to care for her. My brothers could not give 5 minutes to change my house light bulb. Some family members either spend all their time for their own family or selfish. America culture is very individualistic and isolated life. In difficulty like this, many will really screw.
Paralysis is bad enough but multiple strokes... oof. She's a trooper being grateful for her life and smiling.
And a trouper too!
A cardiac arrest means she died too. Thankfully she was resuscitated!
Wow just when I was thinking of going to a chiropractor for my neck it’s been feeling stiff along with my back, hope she recovers asap💗🙏🏻
Her family is amazing.
Man she’s so brave, I admire her strength and fighting spirit. Hoping her a fast recovery
i dont really understand what people mean by brave? its not like she wanted to get paralised
She is not brave. She is just a foolish girl that believed in alternative medicine and won herself a stupid prize.
@@zendraw3468 Yeah, bet she didn't want to get paralyzed yet she still chooses to believe in psuedoscience
It's insulting to call someone "brave" after going through physical or mental trauma. No one chose that trauma. They're not brave, they're resiliant and optimistic.
@@bailey125 Please don't forget the fact that she ended up here due to her own lacking in prudence by choosing to believe in pseudoscience
A wonderful vascular surgeon I worked for told us “see a chiropractor if you want but NEVER let them manipulate your neck” and I took that to heart.
Its so sad to see a young person loose the quality of life she enjoyed once, and the agony her loved ones has gone through the whole process of recovery is speechless.....
Still they have a long journey of rehab to go on.
God bless them all.
What an amazing family!
Hang on in there. You can do it. Much love and prayers to all of them! ❤️
@Daniel Pacheco Imagine being this pathetic that you must complain about someone sending good wishes to a person that is paralyzed 😬
so easy to say when its not affecting your ability to live a normal life
I ended up having a disc ruptured by a bad chiropractor 7 years ago. I’m not paralyzed but I was an accomplished martial artist getting ready to open a school. I went from that to barely walking to the stairs. Ruined my dreams and my life completely.
That is absolutely terrifying. Was it lumbar or cervical?
I'm so sorry. 😞
That brother seems like a great guy. I hope she's able to recover and make this all just a memory someday!
She probably will never be the same as before the accident but it's wonderful that she still has function of her mind and can hopefully relearn to walk.
She will recover after another chiropractor adjustment to the neck
Wish her a full and happy life.
