Because of the high cost of medical care, it is important to utilize all options for their health care needs. People sometimes seek treatment by a Chiropractor for medical problems. While Chiropractors are capable of providing an excellent and often needed level of professional service, they, like physicians, are quite capable of providing a service which falls short of the desired standard of care.

There are three main types of Chiropractic malpractice: (1) Failure to diagnose conditions that require timely medical attention, (2) Damage from manipulation of body parts that may have been weakened by disease or previous trauma, and (3) Informed consent.

For example, a man or woman may consult a Chiropractor for pain in his or her chest. The Chiropractor may indicate that nerve pressure from a spinal subluxation may be the cause of the pain. However, the pain may have been caused by a heart attack, requiring immediate hospitalization. Another example of Chiropractic Malpractice occurs when the Chiropractor manipulates the patient's spine and causing a ruptured disc requiring surgery.

An informed consent form may describe some of the types of problems that a Chiropractor will treat. It would also describe the various risks associated with planned treatment. Common risks associated with Chiropractic treatment include: a stroke, herniated disc, broken ribs and general soreness.
