Neurophysiological Effects of High Velocity and Low Amplitude Spinal Manipulation in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Humans

In Brief Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. To summarize the evidence of neurophysiological effects of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) with a high velocity low amplitude thrust (HVLA-SMT) in asymptomatic and symptomatic humans. Summary of Background Data. HVLA-SMT is effective in reducing back pain, but its mode of action is not fully understood. Methods. A systematic literature search (until July 2018) was conducted by a professional...
