Anti-chiropractic article appears on MSNBC

An anti-chiropractic article that appeared in the May issue of SELF magazine has been posted to the MSNBC Web site.

The article is entitled “Deadly twist: Neck adjustments can be risky.” It chronicles the misfortune of a patient who experienced a stroke following a neck adjustment. Although William Lauretti, DC, an expert on the topic of vertebral artery dissection, is quoted in several places in the article, the tone of the article is sensational and anti-chiropractic.

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) issued a response to the article when it first appeared and has reissued it to the profession.
