Summary

This study evaluate the relationships between spinal manipulative therapy dosage (speed and peak force), the resulting modulation of thoracic spinal stiffness and changes in the clinical status in participants with chronic thoracic pain. Participants will attend four sessions of one hour over 2 weeks. During session 1 to 3, participants will receive one of three different spinal manipulative therapy dosages based on their group assignment and preceded and followed by the measurement of their thoracic spinal stiffness. Session 4 will include spinal stiffness measurement and clinical status evaluation through questionnaires.
