Little Quad...
In spite of positive benefits I received from
chiropractors prior to my injury, I cannot imagine a chiropractor willing to
risk doing spinal manipulation/adjustments on a quadriplegic as the result of
spinal cord injury, nor would I be willing to risk spinal
manipulation/adjustments, fused or otherwise. I realize that chiropractors
do more than just spinal manipulation, i.e. massage therapy and
ultrasound. I would be very interested in your treatments and results if
you are willing to share them.
Good
luck!
Steve

A good friend of mine, Maryann quad over 25 years post C 4,5 is going to have to have her neck fused NOW because her disks shifted and she can't use her right arm as well as she could.Bobbie
