I read recently that chiropractic manipulation of the neck, gone wrong, can cause such arterial dissection.
That’s one more reason why I’ll never go to a chiropractor. One of my late son’s friends went for an adjustment when she was in her early 30s and had a stroke in the office immediately after. She had to have part of her brain removed and had to learn to walk and talk again. She sued and ended up with $3 million.
