Effects of blood Flow in Chiropractic Neck Adjustments

Neck Pain is one of the biggest causes of pain and disability around the world


Our previous blog posts have shown that forward head posture leads to

- alterations in stability

- alterations in balance

- alterations in proprioception


More recent research has also shown forward head posture has lead to a decrease in respiratory function


We also know that a Chiropractic adjustment to the neck can increase oxytocin ( our internal analgesic) and increase neurotensin ( needed for pain relief )


A study in March 2023 looked into whether an adjustment to the neck with manual therapy ( our hands) or an instrument would lead to a difference to blood flow


The study concluded that neither showed a changed in blood flow on the vertebral artery (VA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) in participants with chronic nonspecific neck pain (NNP).
