Immediate Effects of Region-Specific and Non–Region-Specific Spinal Manipulative Therapy in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This osteopathic technique which became well publicized in the 1930s is known as the "dog technique after someone commented on being shown it, that they wouldn't do it to a dog. Patients love it. My own experience of it from technique class is that it is accompanied by a satisfying series of pops and clicks and significant endorphin release. I have seen several elderly patients who have suffered osteoporotic collapse, luckily without neurological sequelae, following it. A safer alternative is the "lift off" which is done sitting and uses traction to induce cavitation.
