First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study involved 131 adults with long-term or recurring neck pain. Researchers tested whether spinal manipulative therapy (a type of chiropractic adjustment) changes heart rate variability and pain sensitivity. They also developed a new test to measure the body's natural pain control system. The goal was to better understand how these treatments work, not to cure the condition.
