Summary

This study aims to measure the effects of spinal manipulation on Chronic Spinal Pain by assessing Muscle Mechanical Properties (MMPs) using MyotonPRO®, Mechanical Perception Threshold (MPT) using Von Frey monofilaments, and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) using an algometer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either spinal manipulation or placebo groups to compare effects on MMPs, MPT, and PPT. Assessments will occur at three time points: baseline, immediately post-intervention (real or simulated), and 24 hours post-intervention. This research targets individuals with chronic spinal pain, providing insights into the potential benefits of spinal manipulation in managing this condition.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

spinal manipulation

A high-velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation at the L5 level will be performance by means of the lumbar roll technique, with the subject in right lateral decubitus.

OTHER

simulated manipulation

Simulated manipulation intervention, in the same position as in the Intervention Group, performance in right lateral decubitus with the left leg flexed and the left foot resting on the right popliteal fossa. Without stretching the paravertebral tissues, the participant will remain for approximately 20 seconds without receiving manual impulse.
