Radiating back pain between shoulders

Believe it or not, the radiating back pain that I experienced that sent me to the ER where they found my ascending aneurysm was a gall bladder episode. They later found numerous gall stones.

I have checked with my primary care doctor and cardiologist. Both are aware of and support my getting chiropractic care. If you have doubts, try doing an AI Google search on how many chiropractors have caused aortic aneurysms. You will find much to read but summed up in a nutshell:

"Low incidence rate: Although potentially severe, these adverse events are considered to be very rare. One estimate places the risk of vertebral artery aneurysm/dissection at approximately 1 in 20,000 spinal manipulations. A 2024 review notes that arterial dissection occurs in roughly one out of every 8.06 million office visits."

Applying common sense and as with nearly everything in life............almost NOTHING is without an element of risk. Manage it wisely. If you can, bring copies of CT scans, etc. to your chiropractor. Mine sat down with me and spent almost 2 hours looking at Xrays and other medical information while discussing his propose chiropractic care. Much of what my chiropractic doctor discussed and recommended was right in line with my primary care doctor and cardiologist.

After over 20 years of service in the military my back, thorasic, and neck have several herniated disks, moderate to severe vertibal/spinal degradation, pinched nerves, and severe arthritis. Dr. Lassiter I can DEFINITELY atest to has greatly improved my quality of life.

On a side note: After discussing with all 3 doctors, they all told me that it was highly unlikely the back & radiating pain I was experiencing was from my aneurysm. They also told me that for the most part aneurysms don't cause much if any pain until they discect. Change your life style to maximize NOT causing or adding to the aneurysm. Address the health issues that you CAN. Most importantly Pray for God's healing hand to be in your life and to guide you.

Believe it or not, the radiating back pain that I experienced that sent me to the ER where they found my ascending aneurysm was a gall bladder episode. They later found numerous gall stones.

The ER doctor had a CT scan performed and noted that I had the usual kidney stones but also notice a number of gall stones.
