During chiropractic procedures, the manipulator angles the chin very carefully - and then quickly and with firm force - moves your head as if to make you say no.
There is a small risk that when they do this procedure a small tear forms in the carotid artery from the sharp pull to that area. Once the tear forms, a clot forms, and arterial clots are dangerous - especially in the carotid artery, which heads right to the brain. Having a clot travel into the brain causes a stroke, which then starves the brain of oxygen - causing permanent damage.
Once again, the risk is small, but it is there. And there are different methods a chiropractor can use for manipulating the cervical spine besides this one procedure, so there is no reason to expose yourself to this risk at all.
If you feel you must have this procedure done, because that crack is so satisfying, then perhaps only have it done when it is truly necessary - when there is actual muscle tension that you can feel that is related to the neck.
