  • Title: Spinal cord injury following chiropractic manipulation to the neck.
    Author: Chakraverty J, Curtis O, Hughes T, Hourihan M.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 2011 Dec 01; 52(10):1125-7. PubMed ID: 22025741.
    Abstract:
    Spinal cord injury is a rare complication of chiropractic treatment. This case report describes a 50-year-old man who developed neurological symptoms a few hours after manipulation (high velocity low amplitude [HVLA] technique) of the cervical spine. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the cervical spine revealed intramedullary high signal at the C2/3 level of the right side of the cervical cord on the T2-weighted images. The potential mechanism of injury and causes of the radiological appearance are discussed.
