The Potential Mechanisms of High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude, Controlled Vertebral Thrusts on Neuroimmune Function: A Narrative Review

Medicina, 2021
The current COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the need to find healthcare solutions that boost or support immunity. There is some evidence that high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) controlled vertebral thrusts have the potential to modulate immune ...

H-Reflex Attenuation After Lumbosacral Manipulation in Patients With Low Back Pain

Acta Medica Iranica, 2019
Spinal manipulation is a manual technique commonly used for the treatment of low back pain. The physiologic mechanisms of the spinal manipulation are largely unknown. One basic physiologic response for spinal manipulation is an alteration in motoneuronal
