Can someone explain to me how chiropractic spinal manipulation can affect the audible range or nightmare of patients?

I am a graduate student with years of educational experience in clinical anatomy and physiology, and I do not see the starting place for these chiropractic theories. It needs clarification

Answers:    your spinal cord (which controls most body movements) is part of your nervous system, the ventral side [stomach] taking charge of most of your motor functions whereas the dorsal side [back] takes care of sensory fuctions. Hearing and sight dribble in to the latter catagory. Different parts of your spine are associated with different parts of your body, so manipulating one division of the spine affects its corresponding area (called dermatomes). Also, there is the tectum which controls visual and auditory inputs. This have nuclei that extend into the spinal column which might explain why chiropractic spinal manipulation affects things like sight and audible range. Whether or not they're all quacks I have no idea but thats my attempt at an explanation :)
I dont any.

Chiropractics is a joke.

They make the alternative health community look similar to fools and many dont like them.

None of it makes any sense surrounded by the slightest.

A good run/swim or an hour of yoga/tai chi will do far more for you than a visit to a stupid chiropractor :/

It will also be better for the wallet too : )
Chiropractice neck manipulation can adversely affect audible range and vision due to stretching or splitting of the vertebral artery at the base of the skull.

Last year I actually have a patient who sufferered blurred near vision and loss of back-to-back for about 3 months after a neck manipulation. She was lucky, in attendance have been numerous reports of stroke and death from d¨Ścolletage manipulation.
In my opinion chiropractors are quacks.. for more reasons than I'll go into and catalogue here.
However I did recently read an article about neck manipulation. Now I know you said spine and probably you already know this. However, neck manipulation can damage the sensitive arteries in the collar and it's estimated that more than a thousand strokes per year are directly caused by neck manipulation from chiropractors. So.. anything that can interfere with the blood flow so drastically I would expect could mete out some serious perceived hearing and visual affects. Of course this is the neck and not the spine so possibly this doesn't answer your question at all.
