About

High velocity low amplitude thrust applied at the vertebral level during spinal manipulation is thought to slide the vertebrae over each other and alter segmental biomechanics.

Full description

Evidence suggests that spinal HVLA techniques may produce acute changes in skin sympathetic nerve activity. There are studies reporting that thoracic HVLA manipulation causes a statistically significant increase in cardiac vagal activity in the immediate post-intervention period compared to sham administration.
