Spine Manipulation may Increase Risk of Stroke
A new study looking in the effectiveness of spine manipulation in treating back pain has warned that such a practice comes with a risk of stroke due to the damage caused to the neck arteries.
The study was conducted by researchers at Brunel University in London who analyzed data from a Cochrane review of randomized trials of neck manipulation or mobilization and found that any benefit acquired from such a treatment would be on a short term basis.
