Chiropractic neck manipulation linked to woman's death

The Canadian chiropractic profession is preparing for lawsuits and a possible
patient exodus after a landmark verdict Friday on the death of a woman who
suffered two strokes after being treated for a migraine.
A coroner's jury in Toronto found that chiropractic neck manipulation was
linked to the death of Lana Dale Lewis, a 45-year-old mother of three.
The chiropractic industry reacted with anger. When the inquest began in a
blaze of publicity on April 22, 2002, chiropractors, especially those in
Ontario, saw their patient billings drop by as much as 25 per cent.
Tim Danson, the high-profile Toronto lawyer hired by the Canadian Chiropractic
Association and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, said his clients
will appeal the jury's verdict to the Ontario Divisional Court. “This verdict
and this inquest represents a travesty of justice,” Mr. Danson told reporters.
“What was at stake at this inquest was the truth. The truth lost,” he said.

Mr. Danson said he hopes the country's 6,000 practising chiropractors will
not lose patients scared off by the inquest result.
“I hope that people will see this [verdict] as being unrealistic and perverse
and hopefully it will not have any more effect than it has had from the outset
of the inquest.”

Those supporting the Lewis family said she died when the upper cervical
manipulation created a tear in the vertebral artery, causing a blood clot to
form over the lesion. The clot can break off, travel to the brain and cause a
stroke.
Experts appearing for the chiropractors testified that she died from hardening
of the arteries. “She was a ticking time bomb,” Mr. Danson said.
Some members of the Lewis family have filed a multimillion lawsuit against her
chiropractor, Philip Emanuele.
Ms. Oakley said the debate over neck adjustments will not be over soon.
She has filed six lawsuits against chiropractors and is preparing six others.
