Study Summary
The effects of cervical spine manual therapy, including mobilization and manipulation, on cervical spine range of motion, joint position sense, and balance is unknown among individuals with cervicogenic headache. Previous studies have indicated improved frequency of headache, decreased perceived disability, and demonstrated improved neuromuscular function following upper cervical manipulation. Other authors report improved cervical spine range of motion, joint position sense, and balance following cervical spine manual therapy for individuals with cervicogenic dizziness. Through an experimental design, this study aims to determine the effects of cervical spine manual therapy on variables such as cervical spine range motion, joint position sense, and balance among individuals with headache of a cervical spine origin.
Primary Outcome
The Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) instrument will be placed on the subject. The subject will lie supine on the treatment table. The investigator will then passively flex the entire cervical spine and then rotate the head to both the left and right. The range of motion available in each direction, as measured by the CROM, will be recorded.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Cervical Spine Mobilization
- PROCEDURE Cervical Spine Manipulation
