Summary

The purpose of this study is 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 individuals experiencing neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Supine thoracic spine thrust manipulation

The participant will be positioned 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

Seated thoracic spine thrust manipulation

The participant will be positioned 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.
