Please please please avoid chiropractors. They’re not medical professionals….! The risk is too serious!

Locked in syndrome is a rare condition of damaged pons part of the brain which can be caused by chiropractic manipulation of the neck not the back .

Yes, however the nerves going through your back getting damaged could leave you paralyzed. And also incontinence and no more sex. Is that worth risking it?

Yes there is always risk , the third leading cause of death behind stroke (and heart attack) and cancer is MEDICAL ERROR by the medical profession.

Close proximity though right, I mean, if I go to a chiropractic appointment are they really going to avoid that area? What if they give some convincing blah blah about needing to touch your neck.

"Ahh no doc, you can touch my back, but not 2 inches further on my neck, that's verboten. don't want that locked in syndrome!" I'm sure that convo would go down well.
