Application of high-velocity low-amplitude technique in cervicothoracic junction produces cardiovascular responses in subjects with C7-T1 dysfunction: Randomized crossover trial

Neural structures of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic conduction emerge from the segments of the cervicothoracic spine. The application of high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) techniques at this segment can generate responses in heart rate (HR), blood pressure and sympathetic nervous activity of the skin. However, it is not known whether these responses occur in subjects with C7-T1 dysfunction.
