I would be hesitant to have my spine manipulated by ANYONE. I have a co-worker who had a manipulation done (of her neck), and had a stroke as a result of it. My friend worked in a hospital Neuro floor as an RN, and she has seen several patients with strokes as a result of chiropractic manipulation. It's not necessarily the result of a bad chiropracter; it's a potential risk of the procedure.

I just saw your comment from 2004. I see a Chiropractor regularly and I can assure you from the research I’ve seen there’s a 1 in 2 million chance that you could have a stroke from Chiro care, so I think they’re may have been some misplaced facts here. Your more likely to suffer Vertebral Basilar Artery Insufficiency or a Transient Ischemic Attack from putting your neck into Extension on a wash bowl at a hair dressers or a salon then with a Chiropractor. Not to mention that the International Chiropractic Association, and the International Chiropractic and Pediatric Association have so many peer reviewed articles on this very fact. I’d love to show you the research on that. My Chiropractor Dr. Ray Omid helps so many people with all sorts of conditions, he adjusts and let’s the body do the healing. Chiropractors go through 4 years of school in a Doctorate program, and go through the same basic classes Medical Doctors go through but without the pharmalogical element. Calling anyone a quack when all the research shows conventional medicine is the number one killer in this country, is just plain ignorant.
