The purpose of this study is to see if a recently developed clinical prediction rule (CPR) will successfully identify which patients with neck pain will respond rapidly and favorably to manipulation of their cervical spine.
Consenting patients with a primary complaint of neck pain will be screened for contraindications to cervical spine manipulation and if eligible to participate in the study, will undergo a detailed subjective (history) and objective (physical) examination. At the completion of the examination, they will be assigned to one of two treatment arms - cervical manipulation and exercise or exercise only. They will receive up to 5 treatment sessions and be followed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after initial visit.
