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

, 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.
