Disc degeneration and cervical spine intervertebral motion: A cross-sectional study in patients with neck pain and matched healthy controls
(Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2024-03-19)
While neck pain can be defined in clinical terms, in most cases the underlying pathophysiology is largely unknown. Regional cervical spine range of motion is often found to be reduced in patients with neck pain compared ...
Association of spinal manipulative therapy with changes in cervical motion segment interactions in patients with neck pain: an observational study with matched asymptomatic controls
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2021)
Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine (1) if maximal intervertebral range of motion (IV-RoMmax) and laxity interactions exist in the cervical spine during flexion, (2) if there are differences in IV-RoMmax ...
Does cervical lordosis change after spinal manipulation for non-specific neck pain? A prospective cohort study
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2015)
Background: The association between cervical lordosis (sagittal alignment) and neck pain is controversial. Further, it is unclear whether spinal manipulative therapy can change cervical lordosis. This study aimed to determine ...
Does inter-vertebral range of motion increase after spinal manipulation? A prospective cohort study
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2014)
Background: Spinal manipulation for nonspecific neck pain is thought to work in part by improving inter-vertebral range of motion (IV-RoM), but it is difficult to measure this or determine whether it is related to clinical ...
