Study Summary

The aim for this graduate student research project is to determine if cervical spinal mobilization releases similar neuropeptides and endogenous hormones as compared to cervical spinal manipulation and a control group. We hypothesized that application of cervical manipulations would result in a neuroendocrine response (SNS- HPA axis). By measuring salivary cortisol, oxytocin and DHEA, it may be possible to provide important information regarding the mechanisms and associations of pain modulation, anti-inflammatory and tissue healing after a biomechanical event.

Primary Outcome

Survey used to assess self-rated disability in patients with neck pain.

Interventions

  • OTHER cervical spinal manipulation
  • OTHER cervical spinal mobilization
