Although chiropractors can be helpful, it's not a good idea to let anyone manipulate your spine if you think you've got a spinal cord injury of any kind. Despite their good intentions, a chiropractor can cause even more injury than before, especially if they work on you too vigorously.

Although it seems like an overly-narrow field of law, there are attorneys who specialize in spinal cord injury. Many of them offer free consultations, so it's worth your while to spend a little time searching for a good lawyer and then taking the tame to get to know them

Be sure to document everything about a spinal cord injury, from the causal event through treatment, even down to the pain and lack of sensation that you might experience. If you ever have to take your case to trial, this will be of enormous benefit to you and your lawyer.
