chiropractic malpractice

One or more acts of alleged negligence by a chiropractor that results in injury. Chiropractic malpractice occurs with uncertain frequency, often because patients do not report the injury, especially when they use chiropractor as their primary physician. It is due to either
(1) Failure to diagnose conditions that require timely medical attention; or
(2) Damage due to manipulation of body parts that have been weakened by disease or previous trauma.
