Can you give yourself a stroke simply by cracking your neck? That's what happened to a 28-year-old Oklahoma man, who was just stretching his sore neck when he had a stroke that left him in the ICU. What experts want you do know:

In response, Overland cites a study in which researchers looked at the force applied during spinal manipulation, working on cadavers, and found the strain unlikely to damage the artery.

That's when he heard a pop, and everything went wrong."My whole left side started to go numb," he remembers."I used to be a police officer, so I knew it could be a stroke."

Ich muss zum Beispiel den Hals knacken, wenn ich mit Gewicht trainiert habe.....

Was ist die Alternative, wenn es anders nicht geht? Manchmal steht man vor der Situation, dass man es halt machen muss. Ganz besonders schlimm ist es morgens, wenn man aufgestanden ist....

Rare occurrence, but this has happened to women having their hair washed at the hairdressers too.

nawafabdulaziz1 Omg. It happened to me once. I woke up in the morning and cracked my neck. After that it stuck and I started to breathe heavily, got blinded with white and fault down 😤 Then everything dissolved by itself

Is that true?

🥺

Yes buy exceptionally rare

This is mid-leading to say the least.

Well, if you take any notice of this B/S, you’re safer getting a head job, than what you are, by getting a neck job. It’s all an over exaggerated hype.

I loved going to the chiropractor. This made me rethink. Having spinal stenosis, I regularly stretch.🤔

اووح دايم اسويها 😨💔

Yes that can happen and this is exactly one of the causes of stroke in pediatrics.... normally we suspect that stroke in that range of age is due to Sickle-Cell but this is another cause that you have to think.

scary

Most people ordinarily would do this first thing after waking up!!!

I guess the analysis was putting the effect as the cause... probably he had the stroke, which cause head and neck pain, for which he tried cracking his neck..

Bleed or a blockage

😱
