Summary

İt is aimed to examine the effect of chiropractic cervical manipulation on pain, functionality and grip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis and whether it is preferable to placebo.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis

Interventions

OTHER

Chiropractic Cervical Manipulation

In the chiropractic cervical manipulation group, the patient was placed in the supine position. The therapist moved to the patient's head, identified the C5-C6 segment by palpation, and manually performed spinal manipulation from the right side using the "cervical rotary break/index push" technique since the dominant side of the patients was the right extremity. In the cervical rotary break/index thrust technique, the lateral aspect of the practitioner's index finger was placed in contact with the posterior aspect of the participant's C5 facet joint, and a rotational thrust was performed between the C5-C6 vertebrae.

OTHER

Sham Technique Practice

The sham technique can be defined as a technique that does not have any therapeutic effect and is preferred to determine whether the efficacy of another technique is superior. The patient was placed in the supine position. The therapist moved to the patient's head, and the C5-C6 segment localized in the lower cervical region was detected by palpation. The C5-C6 segment was positioned to perform chiropractic cervical manipulation and waited for 30 seconds without any pushing force.
