Raj: Chiropractics should be outlawed in this state as treatment for neck pain; physicians have presented evidence that there is a link between neck manipulations and strokes  Nancy: You are correct in pointing out that neck manipulations have been linked to strokes  However, this risk only exists when the practitioner gives the neck a high-velocity twist
If there were better established requirements of using less forceful techniques for neck manipulations, then chiropractics would be a safe and effective treatment for neck pain
