Chiropractic stroke

Since I discussed it earlier here are some research studies on it.LinkLink

The negative view:
Chiropractic's Dirty Secret:
Neck Manipulation and Strokes

The industries excuse or positive view:

I don't care how statistically insignificant the chances are, they are not worth the risk.
This is all my opinion so ask your doctor about it(not your chiropractor).
