Neck pain and syncope follow a chiro treatment
A patient faints twice after chiropractic cervical manipulation, prompting investigation
Belinda, a 28-year-old chiropractor’s receptionist, presents with a history of episodic fainting.
She has been having free weekly chiropractic treatment involving cervical manipulation and use of an ‘activator’ (a small spring-loaded instrument that delivers a controlled impulse to the spine) for the past few months.
