Chiropractic Adjustments to the Midback Alleviate Neck Pain

The study tracked two men and five women with mechanical neck pain. The subjects were aged 20-33 years. They all received a single chiropractic adjustment to the spine of the midback (thoracic region). According to the report, “the outcome measures of these case series were neck pain at rest , active cervical range of motion and neck pain at the end of each neck motion (ie: flexion or extension). These outcomes were assessed pre-treatment five minutes post-manipulation, and 48 hours after the intervention.” The study’s authors conclude that “the present results demonstrated a clinically significant reduction in pain at rest in subjects with mechanical neck pain immediately and 48 hours following a thoracic manipulation.”
