It is unfortunate that you experienced what you had. As far as the neurosurgeons, could you please provide me with their names? I would like to contact them and offer them a rebuttal or find out their reasoning. This topic is one that is heavily debated, and naturally doctors and chiros alike down talk what they don't understand, especially the old guard.

What about other issues? I had a terrible experience and though I did not have a stroke (thank God), my neck has never been the same since. Scans revealed disc tearing and prolapse, which I did not have prior to manipulation. Point being- there are other problems and risks associated with neck manipulation that can cause significant problems and injury. Stroke is obviously at the extreme end, but there are less serious risks. Finally, two of the top neurosurgeons in the country told me that neck manipulations should never take place. I think the public need to know more about the risks associated with such practices. People just refer to stroke as the only serious problem associated with cervical neck manipulation.

I have to like this natural method because it has no side effect as traditional treatment methods. *Post has been edited do to advertising violation.
