A member asked:
I have a very mild anterior wedge compression deformity of a midthoracic vertebral body. what are my options? could my chiropractor have caused this to happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If asymptomatic then just observation and periodic followup. If symptoms pl see a ortho or neurosurgeon. Unless there was abnormally severe manipulation of the area causing acute pain- I doubt if it was caused by manipulation.
