Commentary: A recent study performed in Spain has shown an immediate benefit from one adjustment in subjects with mechanical neck pain. The objective of this study was to analyze the immediate effects on neck pain and active cervical range of motion after a single cervical high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation or a control mobilization procedure. The possible correlation between neck pain and neck mobility also was investigated.
A group of 70 patients with neck pain (25 males and 45 females, ages 20-55 years) participated in this study. The lateral gliding test was used to establish an intervertebral joint dysfunction at the C3 through C4 or C4 through C5 levels. The subjects were randomly divided into either an experimental group, which received an HVLA thrust, or a control group, which received manual mobilization. The outcome measures were active cervical range of motion and neck pain at rest, assessed before the treatment and five minutes after it. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons were made with parametric tests.
