Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test in the effects of pain pressure threshold (PPT) looking out to 30 minutes in the lumbar spine. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Is there a difference between PPT from baseline, immediately after, or 30 minutes after compared to sham ultrasound control group? Participants will be exposed to sham ultrasound or sidelying lumbar manipulation with between groups and within group comparisons of PPT at the posterior superior iliac spine up to 30 minutes following the intervention.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
