Adverse events following cervical spine self‐manipulation: A systematic review

Few cases of AEs following cervical self-manipulation have been reported. Although this practice has the potential for serious AEs, we did not identify evidence that such AEs are a common phenomenon. With very low certainty, this practice has the potential for serious harms. Further research is needed to describe the motivations for using cervical self-manipulation, its prevalence, incidence of associated AEs, and factors predisposing to AEs.
