Comparative short-term effects of two thoracic spinal manipulation techniques in subjects with chronic mechanical neck pain: a randomized controlled trial
Man Ther. 2014 Aug;19(4):331-7. doi: 10.1016/j.math.2014.03.002. Epub 2014 Mar 14.64 patients with medical diagnosis of chronic non-specific neck pain (NSNP) were randomized to one of two thoracic spinal manual therapy techniques: dog-technique and toggle recoil technique. Results indicated that although neck mobility, pain, and mechanosensitivity improved within both groups immediately following intervention and 20 minutes after intervention, only the toggle recoil group achieved statistical significance for all outcomes. Changes in cervical neck extension, right lateral flexion, and left rotation were statistically significantly better in the toggle recoil group.
