An investigation into the kinematics of 2 cervical manipulation techniques
Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
Spinal manipulation is a term that refers to a wide range of manual therapy procedures commonly used across many manual therapy practitioners for a variety of complaints. It is generally recognized that spinal mobilization techniques involve the repetition of slow oscillatory force applied to the spine, whereas manipulation refers to the application of a single high-velocity and low-amplitude thrust. Despite this acceptance, little is known about the biomechanics of these techniques in the cervical spine … MORE
