Letting a chiropractor 'crack' your neck to ease pain could trigger stroke

Most of the commentators on this story refuse to believe in anything scientific.
Don't do it. No one even discusses whether chiropractic has any basis in science, subluxations anyone?

In a medical debate on bmj.com, experts argue the technique is ‘unnecessary and inadvisable’.
