I'm 6 weeks pregnant. chiropractor used a percussion (thumping/drumming) handheld massager on my upper back for a couple minutes yesterday. concerns?

No: What you described would not affect pregnancy. I trust that for the sake of your health and your baby's health you are under the care of an obstetrician. If not see one at your earliest. Wish you good health and a healthy baby.
