ABSTRACT
Neck pain is a common problem associated with considerable comorbidities, disability, and cost to society. Spinal manual therapy is commonly used to treat this condition, and some countries recommend it as a treatment option in their clinical guidelines since it is generally believed to be a safe and effective method for physicians to use to relieve neck pain. However, the non-invasive and frequently medication-free manipulation maneuvers can potentially lead to severe adverse effects.
