Is going to a chiropractor for adjustments dangerous? my chiro days he dies gentle adjustments but i read u can risk stroke, the treatments have helped my neck pain greatly though

No: Chiropractic medical treatment can be very beneficial. It is very effective in conservative treatment of facet sydrome. Studies have shown that short term treatment to as effective & in some cases more effective than physical therapy for back pain. If there is disc herniation with compression of a nerve root, then adjustments may be counter intuitive.

Maybe: Any procedure has risks. Especially for older people, a sudden movement of the neck may cause a stroke, or damage the vessels in the neck. For younger patients, chiropractors pose a risk because x-rays are routinely ordered. Primary doctors should only obtain x-rays when they will change the management of the patient (i.e., discover a broken bone or alternate diagnosis) because it's radiation.

Potentially yes.: With all due respect, there is no credible evidence that chiropractic adjustments are beneficial. Back and neck pain tends to resolve spontaneously, whether treated or not. When chiropractors allow scientific analysis of their methods i might change my opinion, but until then i see no benefit and substantial risk.

Increased risk: Of vertebral artery injury and stroke with neck manipulation.

Keep going: Well trained and reputable chiropractors provide excellent conservative care for neck and back pain. It sounds like you are benefiting from your current care. There is a very small risk of stroke with cervical manipulation from a injury to the arteries in the neck. This is very uncommon.
