You can start by asking them to only crack your middle (thoracic) and lower (lumbar) back. Should be very safe.

There are RARE reports of neck manipulation causing injury to the carotid artery and resultant stroke etc., I think that's extremely rare but if you want to be sure ask them to avoid it. I am sure MoAlpha could give more info from his perspective.
