Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts chiropractic expert witness services.
Reliable Clinical Experts chiropractors testify that cervical manipulation can cause vertebral artery dissection leading to stroke. While the absolute risk is debated (estimates range from 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 250,000 manipulations), certain patients face elevated risk. Chiropractors must screen for vascular risk factors and obtain informed consent about this potentially catastrophic complication.
Reliable Clinical Experts chiropractic experts testify that immediate medical referral is required for red flags including progressive neurological deficits, suspected fracture or malignancy, cauda equina syndrome signs, severe trauma, or failure to improve with conservative treatment.
