Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of manipulative treatment of children with neck and back pain. Because manipulation is the most frequently used treatment of musculoskeletal complaints in children, and an increasing number of Danish children see a chiropractor, it appears obvious to start the search for evidence by examining the effect of this treatment.
