RECRUITING

Patient Perceptions and Experiences Following Multiple Sessions of Simulated or Genuine HVLA Manual Chiropractic Adjustments

Description

Our primary aim with this trial is to measure participant blinding following two simulated/sham or genuine/real high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) manual chiropractic adjustments to assess if participants are able to identify their un-disclosed treatment group. Our secondary aims with this trial are to utilize electrocardiography (ECG), impedance cardiography (ICG), and gait analysis before either treatment session and after both treatment sessions to assess if there are any changes with the participants' measurements before and after a sham or genuine HVLA chiropractic treatment.
