There is always a chance for clamping of the vertebral arteries when a manipulation is done. You don’t state how old you are and that also plays a factor in this answer. If you are over forty and especially by the fifties there are arthritic spurs that are present and they could hit an artery or at least cause one to clamp. The other question that has to be raised is why you continually need to have adjustments? If the adjustment were the answer to the problem then why are they continually needed? The answer to this might be that you need to work on improving posture and muscular imbalances that are present and no matter how much you are manipulated it is not going to change the way the muscle is going to pull.

Yes. Worry… or at least you know all of the risks before you decide to continue treatment.
Chiropractors have to believe that everything causes conditions that only they can fix so they can convince patients that we can’t live comfortably without visits twice per week.
I had a stroke last year as a result of chiropractic treatment and have since made it a priority to raise awareness of the dangers of chiropractic care. Please visit this website to read my story and similar ones of other victims so you may be aware of the risks and make an informed decision about treatment.
