NCT03273868

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effect of a single high-velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation on both cardiovascular autonomic activity and pressure pain thresholds. It is a cross-over study, thus each participant will undergo both interventions (spinal manipulation and sham manipulation). Both interventions will be separated by a 48 h wash-out period.
