“How long does a chiropractic adjustment of a neck take?”
I am a 24-year-old male and I will have a chiropractic adjustment of my neck. How long does a chiropractic adjustment of neck take?

Seconds to a few minutes depending on one's technique.
I can only comment based on what patients have told me over the past 25 years. Usually, the chiropractor wants the patient to come in often - 5 times a week for a "treatment" for 4-6 weeks.

A few seconds to 2 minutes.
The adjustment alone only takes a fraction of a second. But the appointment may take from 5 minutes to an unknown amount of time.
It should be a fairly quick procedure, about 5 minutes.
Adjusting the cervical spine (neck) does not take long at all. The average adjustment can take as little as 3 minutes depending on if your practitioner utilizes muscle work prior to the physical adjustment of the spine. Most providers will book 15 minute visits for treatment to accommodate for adjustments but the actual delivery of an adjustment takes little to no time at all (palpation and evaluation of the joints takes the most time).
