Summary

This study tests whether a single session of neck therapy (manipulation and mobilization) can increase blood flow to the retina and choroid in people with chronic neck pain. One hundred participants will receive either the therapy or a sham treatment, and their eye blood vessels will be measured using advanced imaging over two hours. The goal is to see if this type of therapy has immediate effects on eye circulation.
