Participant Flow

chripractic clinic

117 participants were initially recruited. Following the initial clinical assessment, 98 met all inclusion criteria and were assigned to one of the three groups. 19 participants were excluded because they did not met all inclusion criteria (most common reason was that their neck pain could not be diagnosed as a common non specific neck pain).
