Recent Literature of Interest re: Cervical Spine Adjusting and Cervical Artery Issues y Vertebral artery strains during high speed low amplitude, cervical spinal manipulation, Herzog, Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology;22:12 740-746 (2012) y “Vertebral artery strains obtained during SMT are significantly smaller than those obtained during diagnostic and range-of-motion testing, and are much smaller than failure strains.We conclude from this work that cervical SMT performed by trained clinicians does not appear to place undue strain on theVA, and thus does not seem to be a factor in vertebrobasilar artery injuries.”
