Description
BACKGROUND: Despite apparent clinical benefits, few objective tissue texture measurements exist documenting post-OMT change. Spineliner® technology is capable of measuring hysteresis (tissue texture) changes adjacent to the spine before and after treatment interventions. The technology could be employed to document changes before and after OMT and to determine if varied outcomes result using different OMT activating forces in the cervical spine.
