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.

I knew an ex-Marine who would do the neck-cracking thing for free when you were drunk at the bar.

I trusted him as much as I would a chiro.

To claim that faulty spinal alignment is the source of so many disorders is right up there with reflexology and auras. Sadly, people spent tons of money and some come away injured or misdiagnosed - see Formercorpsman’s frightening story above.

Massage is much safer, more pleasant and is based on muscle tension rather than some fictitious spinal alignment BS.

When I hear the words “natural” or “holistic” I reach for my revolver.
