Summary

There is growing evidence that chiropractic care positively impacts various aspects of central and autonomic nervous system function.This study aims to investigate short term and long-term effects of Chiropractic care (CC) on neurological, behavioral, immunological functions and health-related quality of life in children with subclinical spinal pain.

Conditions

  • Subclinical Spinal Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Chiropractic care

The mechanical properties of chiropractic adjustment have been investigated; and although the actual force applied to the patient's spine depends on the chiropractor, the patient, and the spinal location of the subluxation, the general shape of the force-time history of spinal adjustments is very consistent68 and the duration of the thrust is always less than 200 milliseconds.

OTHER

Control Group

The participants head and/or spine will be moved in ways that include passive and active movements, similar to what is done when assessing the spine by a chiropractor. The sham intervention will also include the participants moving into adjustment setup positions similar to how the chiropractor would typically set up a patient with no joint pre-loading or adjustive thrust
