A member asked:
Is going to a chiropractor safe for someone with factor v leiden? unsure if the cracking, moving stuff, etc could lead to blood clots? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you think you need to see a chiropractor? The risk of clots depends on your genetic status, if you are homozygous for Factor V Leiden, you are at high risk at the baseline. It would be prudent to consult with your doctor to ascertain you genetic status and seek advise about seeing a chiropractor as there may be alternative treatments.
