title: [Multiple disc herniation after chiropractic manipulation].
abstract: We present a case of multiple cervical spine disc herniation in a previously healthy patient following chiropractic manipulation. The aim of this paper is to review the medical literature about the complications following spinal manipulation to emphasize the potential risks of this widely extended therapeutic procedure, performed in many cases by non-qualified personnel without medical training.
