Synopsis
64 patients with chronic, nonspecific neck pain were randomized to determine if the force applied in joint mobilization influenced immediate and short-term treatment outcomes. Patients were treated with joint mobilization of either 30N, 90N, or a placebo intervention. Joint mobilization of either force did not significantly impact pressure pain threshold or cervical range of motion. The group trea...
