Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) has long been used to address musculoskeletal issues, but its effects on lung function, especially in cases of thoracic segmental dysfunctions, are less commonly discussed. A study by Uhrenholt L. in 1995 explored how SMT targeting thoracic segments T3 to T6 influences lung function. This post examines the findings and practical implications of this research, shedding light on how spinal health can affect respiratory performance. Understandin

Chiropractic care often focuses on relieving musculoskeletal pain, but its effects may extend beyond just the spine and muscles. One area of interest is how chiropractic manipulation of the thoracic spine influences lung function. A study by De Vries S., published in 1996 as part of the AECC Project List, examined this connection. This post explores the findings and implications of chiropractic thoracic manipulation on respiratory health. Understanding Thoracic Spine Manipula
