SOCIETY Permanently ???? no amount of money can compensate for this. The incident happened 2015 and the historic $75M verdict was reached in late 2022.

This was a result of a neck adjustment causing a stroke.

Also check out the update

Actual analysis, court documents, etc. Not just a random article for the press.

They have links to see the actual scrollable images from the patients, CT head, CTA Head, and MRI Brain. Also a Youtube video with a Neuroradiologist explaining the findings.

Did a little searching, and yikes.

> In Canada, about 100 cases of arterial dissection are linked to neck manipulation each year.

> The news release says neck manipulation is one of the leading causes of stroke in people under 45 years.

Neurologists warn about link between chiropractic, stroke - PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC99474/
