Can a chiropractor harm your throat?

I am a 28 year old male. I want to know if a chiropractor can harm your throat

The quick answer is NO. Chiropractic care will not harm your throat. You may have an issue with your throat so you may want to get it looked at. Home remedies such as a warm salt water gargle may help reduce the throat irritation.
Chiropractic is the safest health care! This is why insurance for Chiropractors is the lowest.
I have been providing cervical manipulation to patients for over 30 years and have never had a complaint of soreness in the throat. Sometimes, after an adjustment, the neck may be a little sore from the stretch to the muscles or joints but not in the throat.
I hope you find this info helpful.

Take care and be well,

Anything is possible when you are actually touching the body. However, this would be very unusual. If you think something your chiropractor did harmed your throat in some way, you should talk to them. Most nerves which innervate the throat come from the head, but some come from the neck. There is a small chance that nerve irritation has something to do with it, but I would need more information about what happened. Talk to your chiropractor about your symptoms and whether it was and unintended effect from the treatment or not, they can probably help to resolve the issue.
A chiropractor cannot harm your throat. A chiropractor is a healer who takes an oath to do no harm.
Chiropractic adjustments will not harm your throat. The adjustment relieves restrictions of the spine, and not the throat
Can it harm your throat with an adjustment? If you’ve experienced throat pain after an adjustment, I’d contact that doctor to discuss it. If you’re wondering if getting a chiropractic adjustment will harm your throat, I’d say, highly unlikely.
I've never heard of any complications
A Chiropractic adjustment does not contact the throat nor does it negatively affect the anatomy or function of the throat.
