Answer: D Evidence indicates that the incidence of artery injuries associated with high-velocity upper neck manipulation is extremely common.
Explanation:
Neck Manipulation is a remedy used by Chiropractors for neck pain as well as some headaches. Even though it has sometimes been associated with artery injuries, new reports apparently show that this is a false assumption and that such injuries usually happen spontaneously or after everyday activities that involve neck use for example turning the head while driving.
The evidence currently shows that the incidence of artery injuries associated with high-velocity upper neck manipulation is <em>extremely rare</em> and happens inabout 1 in 5.85 million neck manipulations.
