Shaffer regarding a publication from the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy titled, “Thoracic spine thrust manipulation for individuals with cervicogenic headache: a crossover randomized clinical trial.” This episode contains information that will be interesting for practitioners who want to explore regional interdependence as it relates to cervicogenic headaches, the thoracic spine, and spinal manipulation.
