The subjects are randomly divided into two groups. The CSM group received high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation, while the other group underwent VO techniques. Each treatment technique is going to be applied in only one session. Pain intensity is assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
