Cervical Spine Mobilization Results in Immediate Results

Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can be both costly and disabling. In this study, 40 neck pain patients received either cervical mobilization or a motionless manual contact. Those in the mobilization group experienced improvements related to movement-associated pain, as well as increased range of motion and velocity when turning the head. Mobilization is frequently used by doctors of chiropractic to treat patients with neck pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. Musculoskeletal Science & Practice, October 2018
