“Should you let a chiropractor crack your neck?”

They adjust it; you crack jokes and eggs. It is perfectly safe by a trained Doctor of Chiropractic.

If your neck is a problem area and you are considering having it adjusted, a Chiropractor is the best doctor to do the treatment. The Chiropractor should assess you before hand to make sure there are no risk factors for you having the procedure done. The Chiropractor is specifically trained to manipulate/adjust the joints of the spine and extremities.

Normally if the Chiropractor has performed an extensive neuro examination on you and finds things to be normal....adjusting the neck is fine.

Absolutely! We are professionals at adjusting. It has been shown in many research articles that adjusting the neck is a safe and effective way to treat neck pain. For more information please check out our website at portolavalleychiro.com

To best answer this, let's gain some perspective on the statistics of having your neck adjusted. The medical research evidence states that having your neck adjusted is 40,000 times safer than taking a common antibiotic, statistically speaking. A chiropractic adjustment of your neck, when properly performed is one of the safest medical procedures that you can have performed, under the right conditions as long as you don't have any red flag symptoms that should prevent you from being adjusted. A good chiropractic physician will be able to determine if it is safe for you to be adjusted or not. As a secondary note, the extensive medial research on this topic has shown there is no correlation between having a stroke, via vertebral artery dissection, and having your neck adjusted.
Hope this helps!
