Me too. Chiropractic manipulation of the neck is really, really bad news.

My impression is that chiropractors do lots of stuff other than jerking people’s necks around. If you want to go to one, by all means do it, and see if they can help you. But do NOT let them “manipulate” your neck.

My massage therapist was a bit biased, obviously, but he told me many back issues dealt with by chiropractors were muscular in nature. It’s the muscles pulling your back out of alignment. The chiropractor can fix your spine, but if your muscles are still jacked up, they will pull it right back out of alignment. He told me a good chiropractor should also be using massage therapy, and if they weren’t- they were just bilking their patients for money.
