The injury was reported to the Chiropractic Board of Australia, which closed the case without reporting it to the public and allowed the chiropractor to keep practising as long as they undertook education with an ''expert in the field of paediatric chiropractic".

i didn't know that's where a baby's neck was
Why do people take their babies to a chiropractor anyway? They could at least wait a couple of years or so before getting a check up, Right?
what kind of back problems can a baby really have
Why would you need to take a baby to the chiro? Babies are like rubber for fuck sake.
Baby bones are mostly cartilage... not much to crack. Other than their spine, of course.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42342805]what kind of back problems can a baby really have[/QUOTE] Some children can be born with issues with their backs.

She only lets her kids eat iodised salt and zero sugar, tv, games and limited radio. Every day they run a freaking marathon, and some days they pass out. The youngest one is five ffs. She also home schools them because real schools are corrupt or some bullshit like that. The kids are gonna grow up completely disconnected from the world.
Any real doctor would send you away the minute you came in with a fucking baby.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42342805]what kind of back problems can a baby really have[/QUOTE] None that manifest immediately, but as someone who has terrible back problems that are a result of something from birth, I'm on the fence about this, on the one hand, it's tragic that the baby died, but its also equally tragic that there are people who are left suffering and in pain, because of a condition originating from childhood, that could have been dealt with at an early age. And that is a kind of tragedy that will only increase if early age chiropratic treatment is disallowed in australia.

Sort of unrelated, but I think it's a bit weird that the baby's face is blurred in the op.
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;42342887]How has the CPS never been called to her?[/QUOTE] Because the kids are showing results, educationally wise. Can't wait until the mum can't teach any further and the kids are forced to go to secondary education. They'll have a good work ethic but they'll probably end up being massive germophobes and have an ego the size of jupiter when they see others not living as "healthily" as they are.
[QUOTE=Mr._N;42342859]Like this bullshit: [video=youtube;T7ihdsjIqhI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ihdsjIqhI[/video][/QUOTE] Maybe that's why the baby had back issues.
Since when did babys have necks near there butts?
[QUOTE=Bentham;42342890]Sort of unrelated, but I think it's a bit weird that the baby's face is blurred in the op.[/QUOTE] it's necessary to stop people like me from tracking down babies by their faces, going through baby mugshot records it's easy to find a baby by its face
[QUOTE=The golden;42342823]Why the fuck are you taking your baby to a chiropractor? Chiropractors are not massage therapists. Many procedures they do are pretty rough.[/QUOTE] I went to a chiropractor, used to have awful migraines once a month, haven't had one since, but that being said bringing a toddler to one is just stupid
Just yesterday saw an episode of Penn & Teller that went into just this, Chiropractors and children. And a few other kinds of alternative medicine.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42343003]They seem like the type that aren't vaccinated.[/QUOTE] When the mum was gone for a week competing in a canadian bike marathon, the dad took the kids in secret and had every vaccine under the sun. :v: Good on him. They also experienced television, chocolate and laziness for the first time.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;42342885]And that is a kind of tragedy that will only increase if early age chiropratic treatment is disallowed in australia.[/QUOTE] chiropractic treatment is a load of bullshit and just plain stupid for babies/children so young
[QUOTE=The golden;42343098]My dads crippling pinched nerves disagree with you. He's a tradesman and has fucked himself up pretty bad over the years. A couple visits to the chiropractor and he's back to work in a few days. This is like agonizing pain we're talking about here. It's not like it's witchcraft or something. If you actually read up about what chiropractic procedures do it actually makes sense. It's expensive as fuck and it doesn't solve the problem 100% but it provides relief without being pumped with drugs and painkillers.[/QUOTE] well anecdotal stuff is fine but there is very little actual evidence that it is effective for most of the things they claim
[QUOTE=krail9;42343051]chiropractic treatment is a load of bullshit and just plain stupid for babies/children so young[/QUOTE] Tell that to someone who got actual, blessed (if only somewhat temporary) relief from agonising, non stop, near crippling pain, and see how they react. Oh, right, I'd be one of those people and you're wrong. It's not homeopathic, or bullshit, or a placebo, it can and does work and brings actual relief. Sure, there may be people out there who claim it can do a bajillion impossible things, and those are just liars, but it does work. And in my case,if I had had it performed young enough, it may have given my body a chance to recover from what it was suffering from long enough that the condition is positively affected for my entire life. Sadly it wasn't so I have a whole slew of problems, chief amongst which is constant, lingering, near crippling pain every single moment I am awake. Although the only kinds of chiropractors I've met are the ones who don't come with a boatload of metaphysical stuff and instead just focus on actual treatment via spinal adjustment/manipulation

The mind is a very powerful healing tool. The truth is your spine isn't some locking mechanical machine that needs constant attention. Chiropractic does little more than release air and give you a mild massage. The rest of it is in your head.

was just a matter of time really

Chiropractic does little more than release air and give you a mild massage.[/QUOTE] You're easily fooled, good for you, I went into my treatment entirely believing it wouldn't work, expecting it not to, but it did, albeit temporarily (I'm talking about the spinal thing not any of the metaphysical bullshit) conversely, I'm at the maximum amount of the strongest painkillers that my doctor will allow me to have, and those don't make a dent. My condition is spinal, my spinal cord constantly rubs against my vertabrae because they are misaligned, the specific type of chiropractic treatment I took, forcibly shifted the vertabrae just enough to relieve the pressure from my spinal cord. To put in perspective just how much pain I face daily, I had a pretty serious burn on my thumb the other day, but felt absoloutely no pain from it because the pain from my back was overwhelming every other sensation of pain i get, even scalds and burns. [quote]The World Health Organization states that when "employed skillfully and appropriately, chiropractic care is safe and effective for the prevention and management of a number of health problems."[/quote] Sure, there can be side effects, but thats the case with nearly any form of treatment.
