- joint tenderness in at least one of the three upper cervical joints (C0-C3) as assessed by manual palpation
- headache frequency of at least one per week over the past 2 months
Exclusion Criteria:
- red flags noted in the patient's Neck Medical Screening Questionnaire (e.g. tumor, fracture)

- evidence of central nervous system involvement, to include hyperreflexia, sensory disturbances in the hand, intrinsic muscle wasting of the hands, unsteadiness during walking, nystagmus, loss of visual acuity, impaired sensation of the face, altered taste, the presence of pathological reflexes (i.e. positive Hoffman's and/or Babinski reflexes
- two or more positive neurologic signs consistent with nerve root compression, including any two of the following: muscle weakness involving a major muscle group of the upper extremity, diminished upper extremity muscle stretch reflex (biceps brachii, brachioradialis, or triceps reflex), diminished or absent sensation to pinprick in any upper extremity dermatome
- prior surgery to the neck or thoracic spine
- chiropractic or physical therapy treatment for their headaches over the past 6-months
- bilateral headache description

Sperimentale: Treatment (thoracic manipulation)
Patients in the initial manipulation group will attend physical therapy two sessions per week for 3 weeks for a total of 6 sessions.
Each treatment session will last for a total of 15 minutes.
After the initial manipulation group receives 3 weeks of treatment they will wait for 1-week, be retested, and then crossover into the other group.
|
Manipulation techniques will include: CT junction manipulation seated and supine, upper thoracic manipulation, middle thoracic spine manipulation in seated and supine, middle thoracic spine manipulation in prone, thoracic active range of motion exercise and instruction to maintain usual activity level within the limits of pain.

Comparatore attivo: Wait-list (thoracic manipulation)
When individuals are assigned to the wait-list control group they will serve as the control for 3 weeks while the initial manipulation group receives treatment.
After serving as the wait-list control condition for 3 weeks, this group will then return for testing and will receive the manipulation package as described below at 4 weeks.
|
Manipulation techniques will include: CT junction manipulation seated and supine, upper thoracic manipulation, middle thoracic spine manipulation in seated and supine, middle thoracic spine manipulation in prone, thoracic active range of motion exercise and instruction to maintain usual activity level within the limits of pain.
