“…Different effects have been observed after high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation in different regions, such as peripheral joints [ 17 , 18 ], sacroiliac joints [ 19 , 20 ], and the spine [ 21 , 22 ], both on pain and functionality [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], as well as neurophysiological effects on cortical somatosensory integration and function due to transient cortical plastic changes [ 25 ], on the neuromuscular system [ 23 , 25 , 26 ], kinesthesia [ 21 ], and global postural control [ 26 ]. The neurophysiological effects after HVLA manipulation seem to be proven, although, the clinical relevance, in relation to the neurophysiological changes, is not completely known [ 23 ]. For this, as the systematic review by Honoré et al indicates, it would be important to review the previous studies considering the effect size, not only in regard to the immediate effects, but also the medium and long-term effects [ 27 ] because usual treatments for chronic neck pain achieve at most moderate effects in the short-term [ 28 ].…”
