Page 32, paragraph one should read: A report entitled Vertebrobasilar Stroke Following Manipulation submitted to DORA by the Association discusses the possibility of vertebrobasilar injuries following spinal manipulation therapy.  The report authored by a chiropractor in private practice in Australia presents over 100 cases of vertebrobasilar strokes that followed spinal manipulation therapy.  Many of the stroke victims suffered permanent neurological deficit, quadriplegia or death.  There were twelve different categories of practitioners involved in the 182 cases, with 103 cases attributed to chiropractors and five cases to physiotherapists.
