It was 2/21/2005(that day will be in my memory FOREVER.) It has taken this long to get anywhere, so I have learned that if any of us are injured by any practitioner, you might as well forget it. It has cost time, anguish and $$ thatI don't have to pursue legally( you can;'t prove anything) and to file a complaint with the State Board of Chirporactors and they had enougjh cause with the shoddy exam( hardly was one) and record keeping, to actually have a public hearing, instead of dismissing ! Wahoo! At least I was able to cause an advisory against her license. and the new edu. hours she must take... too bad the other 2 who were injured did not have the energy to come forth.
I am still left with the neuropathy and dorsiflexion in my foot as surgery will not restore these nerves,, but at least I had some satisfaction and was able to speak my piece. You'd been proud of me; unemotional, factual, reasonable,not critical, , but she wouldn't even meet my eye. Thank God that's over and perhaps she will be more careful as she is being observed and it may prevent this misery from happening to anyone else.
Know how we sometimes disregard our "gut feelings"? Well, I had them when I walked in there and should've done a u-turn...Handsight! Next time I will heed those instincts!

Sorry to hear about this experience.

I was at work the other day and 3 nurses were raving about a chiropractor. They seem to have a good experience with theirs. However, just like any profession, there are some that do not belong practicing.

I never had a need to see one.

Glad to hear your success at atleast some measure of recourse.
