Summary:
Manipulating the neck has been associated with
cervical dissection, a type of arterial tear that can lead to stroke. Although
a direct cause-and-effect link has not been established between neck
manipulation and the risk of stroke, healthcare providers should inform
patients of the association before they undergo neck manipulation.

Manipulating the neck has been associated with cervical
dissection, a type of arterial tear that can lead to stroke. Although a direct
cause-and-effect link has not been established between neck manipulation and
the risk of stroke, healthcare providers should inform patients of the association
before they undergo neck manipulation.
Treatments
involving neck manipulation may be associated with stroke, though it cannot be
said with certainty that neck manipulation causes strokes, according to a new
scientific statement published in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke.
Cervical
artery dissection (CD) is a small tear in the layers of artery walls in the
neck. It can result in ischemic stroke if a blood clot forms after a trivial or
major trauma in the neck and later causes blockage of a blood vessel in the
brain. Cervical artery dissection is an important cause of stroke in young and
middle-aged adults.
"Most
dissections involve some trauma, stretch or mechanical stress," said José
Biller, M.D., lead statement author and professor and chair of neurology at the
Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. "Sudden movements
that can hyperextend or rotate the neck -- such as whiplash, certain sports
movements, or even violent coughing or vomiting -- can result in CD, even if they
are deemed inconsequential by the patient."
Although
techniques for cervical manipulative therapy vary, some maneuvers used as
therapy by health practitioners also extend and rotate the neck and sometimes
involve a forceful thrust.
There are
four arteries that supply blood to the brain: the two carotid arteries on each
side of the neck, and the two vertebral arteries on the back of the neck. The
influence of neck manipulation seems more important in vertebral artery
dissection than in internal carotid artery dissection.
"Although
a cause-and-effect relationship between these therapies and CD has not been
established and the risk is probably low, CD can result in serious neurological
injury," Biller said. "Patients should be informed of this
association before undergoing neck manipulation."
The
association between cervical artery dissection and cervical manipulative
therapies was identified in case control studies, which aren't designed to
prove cause and effect. An association means that there appears to be a
relationship between two things, i.e., manipulative therapy of the neck and a
greater incidence of cervical dissection/stroke. However, it's not clear
whether other factors could account for the apparent relationship.
The
relationship between neck manipulation and cervical artery dissection is
difficult to evaluate because patients who already are beginning to have a
cervical artery dissection may seek treatment to relieve neck pain, a common
symptom of cervical artery dissection that can precede symptoms of stroke by
several days.
You should
seek emergency medical evaluation if you develop neurological symptoms after
neck manipulation or trauma, such as:
- Pain in the back of your neck or in your head;
- Dizziness/vertigo;
- Double vision;
- Unsteadiness when walking;
- Slurred speech;
- Nausea and vomiting;
- Jerky eye movements.
"Tell
the physician if you have recently had a neck trauma or neck
manipulation," Biller said. "Some symptoms, such as dizziness or
vertigo, are very common and can be due to minor conditions rather than stroke,
but giving the information about recent neck manipulation can raise a red flag
that you may have a CD rather than a less serious problem, particularly in the
presence of neck pain."
