- Abstract
- Positive effects of cervical spinal manipulation on clinical outcomes have been observed. Secondary side effects are however important. Other osteopathic manipulative treatment however exists. A randomised clinical trial was therefore planed to evaluate benefits of general osteopathic treatment (GOT). Gain of range of motion was observed by using an inclinometer.Control (n=21) and experimental (n=24) groups had similar initial characteristics. Significant short term effects were observed for both left and right rotations. Measurements seven days after treatment did not show significant changes compared to those initially taken. Small sample size does not make it impossible that long term effects could exist. Further larger studies on symptomatic subjects should be undertaken to show benefits of GOT.
