Summary

This study is designed to compare the short term effects of two different thoracic spine thrust manipulation techniques on neck range of motion, pain, and self-reported disability in a sample of dental students experiencing neck pain.

The hypothesis of the study is that there will be a difference between the two thoracic spine thrust manipulation techniques for short term effects on neck range of motion, pain, and self-reported disability in a sample of dental students experiencing neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Thoracic Spine Thrust in Seated Position

The thoracic spine manipulation used here is a manipulation technique that involves positioning the patient so that a small amplitude quick stretch can be applied to the least mobile area of the thoracic spine as identified by the licensed physical therapist during spinal segmental mobility testing.

OTHER

Thoracic Spine Thrust in Supine Position

The thoracic spine manipulation used here is a manipulation technique that involves positioning the patient so that a small amplitude quick stretch can be applied to the least mobile area of the thoracic spine as identified by the licensed physical therapist during spinal segmental mobility testing.
