Summary

This study looks at whether hearing a popping sound during a spinal manipulation changes how much pain and disability people feel. 38 adults with non-specific neck and upper back pain will be split into two groups: those who hear an audible sound and those who don't. Their pain, satisfaction, and neck movement will be checked before and 48 hours after the treatment.
