Control group
A registered chiropractor will assess the entire spine, and both sacroiliac joints will be assessed for vertebral subluxation by a registered chiropractor. The clinical indicators that will be used to assess the function of the spine before spinal adjustment intervention include assessing for joint tenderness to palpation manually palpating for a restricted intersegmental range of motion, assessing for palpable asymmetric intervertebral muscle tension, and any abnormal or blocked joint play and end-feel of the joints.
The participant's head and/or spine will be moved in ways that include passive and active movements, similar to what is done when assessing the spine by a chiropractor.No spinal adjustment will be performed during any control intervention.
