A member asked:
In general, can i become dizzy for up to one hour when an experienced chiropractor cracks/adjusts my neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common Complaint!: A 2004 study in Manual Therapy reveals up to 61% of chiropractic patients report mild side effects including dizziness or vertigo for up to 24 hours following an adjustment. Dizziness may be worsened by postural changes and reduced by rest and hydration. Serious adverse events including stroke have been reported due to injury to vertebral arteries. Avoid practitioners who snap or rotate the neck!
