“…Using this tool, several studies have noted that individuals with both experimental (13) and clinical neck pain (14)(15)(16)(17)(18) exhibit 130% -170% greater measurements of postural sway, during normal stance with eyes open, when compared to asymptomatic controls. The mechanism underlying this disturbance in postural control is thought to be related to altered proprioceptive input arising from the cervical region and pain-induced, maladaptive changes within the musculoskeletal and central nervous systems (3,19,20).…”

“…42 In addition, vertebral manipulation may possibly affect the pain process, changing the central state of facilitation of the spinal cord, and it can affect the motor control system. 42,43 Patients with acute or chronic pain have relevant and statistically significant clinical improvement in all spinal structures following chiropractic manipulation. 39 The control group had an increase in pain level following training, reinforcing the findings in the literature where weight lifting has been widely associated with lumbalgia.…”

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of acute chiropractic adjustment in individuals who practice CrossFit with regard to complaints of low back pain and the joint range of motion in this region. Methods: A randomized clinical trial comprised of CrossFit practitioners from a box in Novo Hamburgo-RS, of both sexes and aged 18 to 40 years who had low back pain at the time of the study. The following tools were used: Semi-structured Anamnesis Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire. Individuals in the control group answered the questionnaires before and after CrossFit training. The chiropractic group performed the same procedure, plus pre-training chiropractic adjustment and joint range of motion (ROM) before and after lumbar adjustment. Results: There was a significant increase in pain in the control group, and a significant decrease in pain in the chiropractic group, including one day after the chiropractic adjustment. In the chiropractic group, the joint ranges of motion had a significant increase in flexion and extension of the lumbar spine after chiropractic adjustment. Conclusion: The chiropractic group achieved a significant improvement in pain level and joint range of motion, suggesting that acute chiropractic adjustment was effective in reducing low back pain.Keywords: Physical exercise; Manipulation, chiropractic; Low back pain; Range of motion; articular. RESUMO

“…37 Although the overall magnitude of the changes in strength post-lumbosacral manipulation was not large enough to overcome this variability, statistically significant changes in measurements of CNS processing have been reported in previous investigations of the physiological effects of SM. 28,38 These studies incorporated techniques such as EMG, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and the Hoffmann reflex. Accordingly, Pickar and Bolton 28 have concluded that alterations in CNS processing following SM may be produced by a surge of elevated discharge frequencies from paraspinal mechanoreceptors and primary afferent neurons involving temporal and/or spatial summation.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of manual manipulations targeting the lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac joint on concentric knee extension and flexion forces. Torque production was measured during isometric and isokinetic contractions. Methods: This was a randomized, controlled, single-blind crossover design with 21 asymptomatic, college-aged subjects who had never received spinal manipulation. During 2 separate sessions, subjects' peak torques were recorded while performing maximal voluntary contractions on an isokinetic dynamometer. Isometric knee extension and flexion were recorded at 60°of knee flexion, in addition to isokinetic measurements obtained at 60°/s and 180°/s. Baseline measurements were acquired before either treatment form of lumbosacral Journal of Chiropractic Medicine (2015) 14, 240-248 manipulation or sham manipulation, followed by identical peak torque measurements within 5 and 20 minutes posttreatment. Data were analyzed with a repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: A statistically significant difference did not occur between the effects of lumbosacral manipulation or the sham manipulation in the percentage changes of knee extension and flexion peak torques at 5 and 20 minutes posttreatment. Similar, nonsignificant results were observed in the overall percentage changes of isometric contractions (spinal manipulation 4.0 ± 9.5 vs sham 1.2 ± 6.3, P = .067), isokinetic contractions at 60°/s (spinal manipulation − 4.0 ± 14.2 vs sham − 0.3 ± 8.2, P = .34), and isokinetic contractions at 180°/s (spinal manipulation − 1.4 ± 13.9 vs sham − 5.5 ± 20.0, P = .18). Conclusion:The results of the current study suggest that spinal manipulation does not yield an immediate strength-enhancing effect about the knee in healthy, college-aged subjects when measured with isokinetic dynamometry.
