Is a neck adjustment safe?
Yes, it is. The most recent research into the safety of the neck adjustment confirms the safety of this procedure. The neck adjustment is performed well within the normal turning range of the head and it is skill not strength that is needed to perform this safe, effective procedure. Most patients experience immediate relief following an adjustment, however, some may experience temporary pain, stiffness or slight swelling. In rare situations, patients may experience temporary dizziness, local numbness, or radiating pain. Your Chiropractor can help you easily manage this if it happens to you. I am worried about the risk of stroke from having my neck adjusted. The findings in the existing research literature agree that adverse events such as stroke or stroke-like symptoms associated with neck adjustment are extremely rare. For example, a Canadian study published in 2001 concluded that stroke symptoms associated with neck adjustment are so rare that it is very difficult to quantify. Simila
