Summary

This study evaluates the effect of a single high-velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation on both cardiovascular autonomic activity and pressure pain thresholds.

It is a cross-over study, thus each participant will undergo both interventions (spinal manipulation and sham manipulation). Both interventions will be separated by a 48 h wash-out period.

Conditions

  • Manipulation, Spinal

Interventions

OTHER

High velocity low amplitude manipulation

The researcher manually applies a preload force on the T5/T6 level followed by a single posterior to anterior thrust.

OTHER

Sham manipulation
