Study Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the use of thrust manipulation to non-thrust mobilizations for mechanical neck pain when they are applied to both the cervical and thoracic spine. Both of these techniques have been compared in previous trials but a pragmatic approach will be employed as well as controlling for clinical equipoise.
