No results posted yet for this study

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 people with neck pain.

The null hypothesis is that there will be no differences between the two manipulation techniques for short-term effects on neck range-of-motion, pain, and self-reported disability in people with neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Supine Thoracic Spine Manipulation

Position patient so that small amplitude quick stretch can be applied to the least mobile area of the thoracic spine that is identified during the spinal segmental mobility testing. The thoracic spine thrust manipulation will be applied at an appropriate range of motion as identified by the clinician.

OTHER

Prone Thoracic Spine Manipulation

Position patient so that small amplitude quick stretch can be applied to the least mobile area of the thoracic spine that is identified during the spinal segmental mobility testing. The thoracic spine thrust manipulation will be applied at an appropriate range of motion as identified by the clinician.
