Certain manipulations can cause your systolic pressure to jump and possibly cause a stroke. You might want to consult with an Osteopathic manual practitioner to see if that might be a more appropriate treatment for you. They use techniques that a somewhat different and gentler.
Your chiropractors were bring very cautious in treating you because of your high blood pressure and how cervical manipulation can affect you. There is a slight chance that manipulation could cause a stroke. To deal with high blood pressure, you must find the cause of your specific problem. There could be many physical causes such as genetic predisposition or being overweight. Stress and anxiety are the primary emotional causes for high blood pressure. I suggest regular meditation, healthy eating, journaling, massage, and exercise to reduce your stress and anxiety.

if your bp is exceptionally high, you're older and have indications of cerebral ischemia it is understandable. if your systolic is not over 160-170, and you have no other contraindications, you might consult an upper cervical specific practitioner. they do not use rotary type (neck twisting)adjustments. (right nitrous, if your so-called "real" doctor was worth a spit, he would have helped this person already).
thank goodness. It's nature's way of telling you to go and get proper medical advice from a real doctor.
