Does Cervical Manipulative Therapy Cause Vertebral Artery Dissection and Stroke?
The Neurologist 14:66-73, Miley,M.L.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Weak to moderately strong evidence exists to support causation between CMT and VAD and associated stroke. Ultimately, the acceptable level of risk associated with a therapeutic intervention like CMT must be balanced against evidence of therapeutic efficacy. Further research, employing prospective cohort study designs, is indicated to uncover both the benefits and the harms associated with CMT.
