Purpose A goal of our laboratory is to identify mechanisms of action operative during the body-based practice of spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation can be identified by a number of mechanical characteristics, including but not limited to, contact site, magnitude, rate and direction of thrusting force. Because neural mechanisms are thought to contribute to its clinical effects, we studied spinal manipulation during a series of experiments aimed at identifying mechanical characteristics that affect responses from sensory neurons innervating paraspinal tissues. Presumably, specific parameters related to these characteristics are related to successful clinical outcomes. In this study, we determined the effect of contact site on manipulation-induced neural activity of proprioceptive afferents from lumbar paraspinal muscles.
