 Chiropractic Cervical Care and Vascular Related Issues
 Current Evidence

Kosloff TM, Elton D, Tao J, Bannister WM. Chiropractic care and the risk of vertebrobasilar stroke: results of a case-control study in U.S. commercial and Medicare Advantage populations. Chiropractic & Manual Therapies. 2015;23:19.

This study found "no significant association between exposure to chiropractic care and the risk of VBA (vertebrobasilar arterial) stroke," and concluded "that manipulation is an unlikely cause of VBA stroke." "The positive association between PCP visits and VBA stroke is most likely due to patient decisions to seek care for the symptoms (headache and neck pain) of arterial dissection." The authors further "conclude that using chiropractic visits as a measure of exposure to manipulation may result in unreliable estimates of the strength of association with the occurrence of VBA stroke."

Tarola, G, Phillips RB. Chiropractic Response to a Spontaneous Vertebral Artery Dissection. Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. 2015;14(3):183-190.

This interesting case study illustrates how chiropractors can be at the forefront of assessing patients who may be having a stroke in process and understand the necessity of how to properly refer. The study noted that "recognition and rapid response by the chiropractic physician provided the optimum outcome for this particular patient."
