Loads Transmitted During Lumbosacral Spinal Manipulative Therapy
Spine, 1997An in vivo biomechanical study of three separate manipulation procedures administered in random order. A biomechanical computer model estimated the loads passing through the spine at the level of interest.The difference in loading effects from manipulation were contrasted for all six degrees of freedom based on treatment method.

Efficacy of Spinal Manipulation/Mobilization Therapy
Spine, 1985A quantitative review (meta-analysis) was undertaken to synthesize existing evidence on the efficacy of joint mobilization and manipulation and expose consumers of rehabilitation research to the methods and procedures of quantitative reviewing. Potentially relevant studies were obtained through a computer-assisted bibliographic search of the Index ...

Acceleration of clinician hand movements during spinal manipulative therapy [PDF]
Manual Therapy, 2015 This study used an observational design to examine the kinematics of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) by determining the acceleration characteristics of the manipulative input at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal regions. Studies of SMT have been restricted to measuring the forces that result from the manipulative input.

Biomechanics of spinal manipulative therapy
The Spine Journal, 2001Modern scientific investigations into spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) began in 1975. Conditions often treated include acute and chronic low back pain, radicular pain, neck pain, and some forms of headache. The field of spinal manipulation has often been treated by the literature, incorrectly, as being homogeneous. Much of the confusion regarding this

Spinal Manipulative Therapy A Status Report
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983Spinal manipulative therapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for patients with low back pain. It is both a manual diagnostic and a treatment method. Manual diagnosis includes the palpation of vertebral position, vertebral motion, joint play, end feel, soft tissue texture changes, and muscle contracture.

Spinal Manipulative Therapy in the Management of Cervicogenic Headache
Headache, 2005Patients suffering from cervicogenic headache (CeH) are commonly treated with spinal manipulative therapy. We have analyzed the quality and the outcomes of published, randomized, controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in CeH. Among 121 relevant articles, only two met all the inclusion criteria.

How Spinal Manipulative Therapy Works: Why Ask Why?
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2008For some patients, spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for spine pain, yet we really don't fully understand how or why. The mechanisms of spinal manipulative therapy are not well defined, and common explanations for why spinal manipulative therapy works lack supporting evidence.
