There is a rash of curious cases of young people in their 40’s, 30’s, even their 20’s who are experiencing a spontaneous rupture of various tendons in their bodies. Dr. Gibson, a Seattle Chiropractor wrote about this in his blog last month because he saw first hand what happended when a patient of his was exposed to ciprofloxacin (Cipro.)
Recently I had a practice member come into the office who I have known for over 8 years. Her health has been fantastic ever since she began receiving chiropractic adjustments, and had been battling a hamstring issue she attributed to either biking or horseback riding.
Approximately a month later she comes into the office and lets me know that she had detached tendons of her pelvic floor, and they were causing the discomfort.
It’s also interesting to read what one commenter said about her experience with the drug, and what happened to her husband:
My husband took Cipro in 1998. Around 11 months after taking Cipro he had his first rupture. He had 2 more ruptures over the next few years after that.

This is really informative. First-hand information is always the best. I hope more people get to read this so they’d be cautious in taking medicines like that. Always good to know what something’s side effects could be. Very helpful post, thanks a lot for sharing!
All drugs have side effects, which is another reason to seek conservative chiropractic care.
