Manipulation 118
Maintenance Care, Cervical Hemodynamics & Neurophysiological Effects of the Adjustment

1.0

  • Identify a sub-group of recurrent low back pain patients that might respond most favorably to a maintenance care schedule
  • Summarize existing research literature on chiropractic maintenance care
  • Investigate short-term changes in pain-pressure threshold (PPT) and temporal summation (TS) after lumbar spinal manipulation (SMT) compared to a credible sham intervention
  • Determine whether cervical spinal manipulation leads to meaningful changes in vertebral and cerebral hemodynamics, compared to neutral or end-range neck rotation postures in adults with chronic neck pain
  • Summarize the current state of the literature regarding the neurophysiological effects of high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulative therapy (HVLA-SMT) in asymptomatic and symptomatic humans
  • Critique the existing, sham-controlled literature evaluating the acute changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) markers and function in patients receiving manipulation to spinal or peripheral joints
