Abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of postsurgical neck pain, after multiple spinal surgeries, that was successfully treated by chiropractic intervention with instrumental adjustment of
Abstract BACKGROUND: Studies investigating posteroanterior (PA) forces in spinal stiffness assessment have shown relationships to spinal level, body type, and lumbar extensor muscle activity. Such
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to quantify the mobility characteristics (dynamic stiffness and mechanical impedance) of the normal human thoracolumbar spine with
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the neuromuscular reflex responses of the erector spinae musculature to spinal manipulative thrusts (SMTs) in patients
Abstract BACKGROUND: Although the mechanisms of spinal manipulation are poorly understood, the clinical effects are thought to be related to mechanical, neurophysiologic, and reflexogenic processes.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To discuss a case of coccygodynia that responded favorably to conservative chiropractic adjusting procedures with the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) and the
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the dynamic force-time and force-frequency characteristics of the Activator Adjusting Instrument and to validate its effectiveness as a mechanical impedance measurement
Abstract BACKGROUND: Circumstances surrounding cerebrovascular accidents after cervical manipulation need further clarification. In particular, more information is needed on the importance of specific techniques. OBJECTIVES:
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of spinal manipulation upon the intensity of emotional arousal in phobic subjects exposed to a threat stimulus. DESIGN: Randomized,
