honestly? with what you had going on that an actual MRI report stated,and believe me, you had ALOT more info than most poeple do when seeking out a chiro not realizing the true overall impact they can have on ones spinal and spinal cord areas, he never ever should have touched you or actually even attempted to 'adjust" you at all with an actual fracture in the vertebrae? just how did you end up with an actual 'compression" fracture in the first place? what was the actual mechanism of injury?
do you actually have your very own copy of that report in your possession? i need to see how the rad worded the summary which would dictate the severity and involvement of certain spinal areas(did they MRI any other spinal levels?). just knowing what was there before would help. what the best idea would be at this point would seriously obtain another "comparritve" MRI just to check for any possible changes. are you haveing ANY 'new' pain or just an increase in the already present pain areas? any nurabness or tingling or shooting electrical type sensations to anywhere, espescially that was not there pre adjustment?
the biggest problem with ANY chiro adjustment that you have done is that it is basically a 'blind' adjustment/movement within the spine. they just cannot see what they are doing in there ya know? thankfully this was not the actual c spine area which has a ton more real risk of some major negative issues developing or occuring from blind adjustments being done on it just becasue of certain areas of blood supply and the much heavier innervation up there. things can just always be worse when the c spine is being worked on vs other levels. its just scarey. personally i would not let any chiro ever touch my c spine but other areas,they DO have some places where they can really help patientes with 'certain' types of spinal issues. the thing here is you have a freaking fracture at the very least, what in goRAB name did this man expect to do here, suddenly heal you? its a fracture that has to naturally heal, ya know? just knowing what other findings showed up in that MRI really are crucial just to know. depending upon the actual cause of the compression fracture itself, well you could possibly also have other levels of problems too if they were not also scanned? what made them actually do 'just' the area of that T spine they did in the first place? were you feeling only pain in that one spot or what? knowing more info on this situation would really help alot, espescially what is in that summary of the MRI report. once i can get more info, that will just really help me to help you in the very best ways.
