We see a few every year, young people with devastating strokes following chiro neck manipulation; But we only see the one's who are still alive to make it to the ER, I don't know how many die without making it. There's currently a multi-year study going on at our institution investigating this. Bottom line - Don't let a chiro touch your neck!!
