Chiropractors are cranks but a normal muscle massage is really unlikely to cause a stroke AFAIK. The risks from Chiros as I understand it involve the big "adjustments" where they go for big pops, particularly in the neck.

He already had the blood clot in his neck, which was the cause of his pain. The chiropractor's massage released the clot.
