Study Summary
Chiropractic adjustment has been shown to gap certain joints in the spine, thereby improving mobility in individuals with decreased movement capabilities. During normal motion, joints in the spine produce sounds and vibrations called crepitus. The purpose of this study is to assess how this crepitus may be used as an indicator for joint degeneration in healthy human subjects and those with low back pain, and if chiropractic adjusting causes change in this crepitus. The investigators hypothesize that change in crepitus after adjustment may be a useful indication of changes in joint mobility and joint stiffness.
Primary Outcome
Piezoelectric accelerometers are taped to the participants spine. The participant then completes a range of motions while the accelerometers are recording any sounds being produced during the movement. Following range of motion, the participant receives a side posture chiropractic adjustment and then repeats the range of motion while the accelerometers are recording. All participant recordings will be collected prior to the start of analysis. Utilizing previously validated methods to analyze acc
