Spinal Manipulation 105: Cervical Spine Clinical Trials / 1 Credit

Learning Objectives:

1. Appraise the effectiveness of spinal manipulation therapy,
   medication and home exercise with advice for patients with acute and
   subacute neck pain.
2. Evaluate the relative effectiveness of high-dose, supervised
   exercise with and without spinal manipulation and low-dose home exercise
   for chronic neck pain.
3. Assess the preventive value of spinal manipulative therapy, with and
   without home exercise, in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.
4. Compare isolated cervical spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) versus a
   combination of cervical, cervico-thoracic and thoracic SMT in patients
   with chronic mechanical neck pain.
5. Identify predictors of positive outcomes of chiropractic spinal
   manipulation in neck pain patients and determine whether these
   predictors are different between acute and chronic patients.
