STOP NOW: Chiropractic adjustments can cause spinal cord damage, ruptured discs, and blood vessel damage in the neck. The high velocity, high amplitude neck maneuvers, performed by a non-physician, without safe precautionary examinations may cause a temporary vertebral artery compression at the foramen transversarum in the neck, but if it creates a dissection, you are at risk of stroke. See your md or do.
