In this episode, Dr. John Stenberg discusses a study on the effects of upper cervical manipulation on standing postural control and cervical mobility in chronic, non-specific neck pain.

The study found that a single upper cervical manipulation resulted in immediate improvement in cervical range of motion, which was maintained throughout the study period. However, significant changes in postural control parameters were observed later in the study. T

he host emphasizes the clinical relevance of these findings for upper cervical chiropractors and suggests incorporating assessment methods such as the cervical flexion rotation test and force plates. The importance of stratifying patients for predictable outcomes and educating patients about the long-term benefits of upper cervical care is also highlighted.
