This study aims to measure the effects of spinal manipulation on Chronic Spinal Pain by assessing Muscle Mechanical Properties (MMPs) using MyotonPRO®, Mechanical Perception Threshold (MPT) using Von Frey monofilaments, and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) using an algometer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either spinal manipulation or placebo groups to compare effects on MMPs, MPT, and PPT. Assessments will occur at three time points: baseline, immediately post-intervention (real or simulated), and 24 hours post-intervention. This research targets individuals with chronic spinal pain, providing insights into the potential benefits of spinal manipulation in managing this condition.
