Manual Manipulation for Neck Pain
Summary
The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of two commonly used, safe, thoracic spine grade 1-4 and grade 5 mobilization to the thoracic spine on cervical spine pain in individuals with nontraumatic cervical pain. The immediate effects of thoracic spine mobilization have been shown to facilitate greater range of motion increases in the cervical spine and greater pain decreases within a treatment session and on follow-up visits. There is no research utilizing pain threshold perception as an objective outcome of these treatments. Only one study compared the two treatment techniques and concluded that future research should be completed which includes manual therapy for the thoracic spine. (Cleland 2007)
