NECK PAIN - CERVICAL SPINE PAIN - Longer Version - Mobilizations With Movement

http://www.ProPTRehab.com - Here is an option for chiropractors and/or physical therapists to try if they are concerned about using manipulation with regard to any precautions and/or potential contraindications. Patient self generated force may be sufficient, patient self added overpressures may be sufficient, manual overpressure may be required and if all else shows the force and direction is helpful, but doesn't completely take care of the problem, manipulation using an end-range thrust may then be required.

Bottom Line, whatever works... we need to call our theoretical models theoretical so we don't misinform patients.

It's kind of amusing to see people dislike this video. What is there to dislike? It's not professionally filmed perhaps.

My doctor told me to go to the Chiropractor. I have an appt next wednesday and I am freaking out.....

@zsmores244 I'm not a chiropractor.

The Chiropractor in this video had the woman stretch her neck but did not attempt to adjust it by applying sudden force. I think this is the proper way to work on the neck and I applaud the chiropractor for doing it this way. Well done! Neck adjustments can be dangerous if manipulated by force.

@workingstiff76 Thanks, but I'm a physical therapist; however, there ARE Chiropractors who do the same or a similar thing.

QUESTION:How would you treat someone or would you treat someone who has a problem turning their head to the complete right or (left) due to an elevated first thoracic rib causing pain and blood circulation problems?? exercising which i already do for my neck is not enough for the bone needs to be put into place to release the pressure being put on the blood vessles and such.

@tonytang2222 If he had something better to film with, I'm sure he would have used it.
