Resumo
Spinal manipulation (SM) is a common treatment approach for musculoskeletal pain disorder since Hippocrates. Nevertheless, even today the mechanisms through which SM alters musculoskeletal pain are still unknown. Additionally, even though several clinicians have alerted of possible adverse effects associated to the use of this technique, there are no evidence-base to neither support nor refute this affirmation. The aim of this study is to determine possible mechanisms through which SM is effective and if it can generate tissue damage. We’ll determine the chemical agents blood concentration related to analgesia and tissue damage. The measurements will be done before, after and two hours after a thoracic SM, cervical SM or no intervention.
