A member asked:
Is chiropractic treatment appropriate for a t12 compression fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Compression fractures of the spine can potentially be unstable. Because of this, chiropractic manipulation is contraindicated, as movement of the fracture could displace fracture fragments, leading to impingement of the spinal cord. Hope this helps!
