Should You Let A Chiropractor Adjust Your Neck?

Whether or not to let a chiropractor adjust your neck depends on the individual’s medical history and condition and should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider. Neck manipulation, also known as cervical manipulation, can effectively treat certain types of neck pain and other conditions, but it also carries some risks.

Before undergoing neck manipulation, inform your chiropractor of any underlying medical conditions or risk factors that may increase the risk of complications. Your chiropractor should also explain neck manipulation’s potential benefits and risks and discuss alternative treatment options.

If you decide to undergo neck manipulation, work with a licensed and trained chiropractor with experience and expertise in performing this technique. They should use appropriate techniques and take proper precautions to minimize the risk of complications.

If you have concerns about neck manipulation or are experiencing neck pain or other symptoms, speak with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate course of treatment. They can help evaluate your condition and provide guidance on chiropractic treatment’s potential risks and benefits, including neck manipulation.
