The Effect of Manipulation and Mobilisation on Pressure Pain Thresholds in the Thoracic Spine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
High velocity low amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation and mobilisation are commonly used by manual therapists to relieve spinal pain and improve mobility. The aim of this controlled, single blinded study was to investigate the effect of manipulation and

Does inter-vertebral range of motion increase after spinal manipulation? A prospective cohort study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 outcomes.

Immediate effects of spinal manipulation on thermal pain sensitivity: an experimental study

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2006
Background The underlying causes of spinal manipulation hypoalgesia are largely unknown. The beneficial clinical effects were originally theorized to be due to biomechanical changes, but recent research has suggested spinal manipulation may have a direct
