  Victims of Chiropractic Abuse, Inc (VOCA) is proud to announce it has designed and released a stamp honoring the life and legacy of Linda Solsbury of New London. They are legitimate U.S. first-class postage stamps that can be used to mail any letter or package. 

In 1985 Ms. Solsbury became mute and paralyzed as the result of chiropractic manipulation. However, with the use of only one hand and a computer along with the help of attending nurses and local politicians she was able to lead efforts in 1993 to get a law passed in Connecticut requiring chiropractors to carry malpractice insurance, which the chiropractor who ruined her life did not have. 

Linda Solsbury died last year during an operation to relieve some of the effects of her injuries. 

"This stamp honoring Linda will help our efforts to promote awareness of the health hazards of chiropractic neck manipulation to the many people who will send, receive, or see the stamp," said Janet Levy, President of VOCA. "Linda was a true hero who worked diligently to warn the public that chiropractic is not without risks and she was a comfort to many other victims through her extensive email communications."
