Abstract:
Cervical regulating manipulation is based on the extrinsic active system and intrinsic support system. Only when the former system is relaxed, can the motive force of regulating manipulation reach the latter system to extend the vertebral discs and regulate the posterior joints. Frequent cervical regulating manipulation can stretch soft tissue around the joint and enlarge activity of joint and make it soft from subjective views, but it isn’t proved by experiment. From the aspect of spinal biomechanics, cervical regulating manipulation has advantages and disadvantages, so it should be used according to certain standard, or it will cut down the self-regulation activity of spinal biomechanics.
