Snap, crackle, pop: joint adjustment may boost core strength in healthy adults
NCT ID NCT07244679
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a fast, high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation of the sacroiliac joint could immediately improve core stability in healthy adults. Sixty participants aged 18-40 were randomly assigned to receive the manipulation or no treatment. Tests showed short-term improvements in trunk stability and flexibility after the adjustment, suggesting a possible link between joint manipulation and better neuromuscular control.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Sacroiliac joint manipulation (HVLA)
What this could lead to
If confirmed, this could suggest that a simple joint adjustment might help improve core stability and flexibility in healthy people.
What could go wrong
This was a small study in healthy individuals, not patients. The improvements were short-term, and it's unclear if they apply to people with pain or last beyond the test session.
