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.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
