Cervical Manipulation For Cervicogenic Headaches (CGH)

Given the large numbers of people seeing chiropractors for headaches and/or neck pain, it is important to evaluate cervical manipulation (high velocity; low amplitude) for effectiveness as well as safety (stroke risk particularly).  This article looks at a recent study comparing cervical manipulation to mobilization and other standard treatments.  While  manipulation was found to be more effective, how convincing is the study?

This one study is not enough to justify adopting manipulation for CGH.
