Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To characterize muscle activity through electromyography (EMG) of the lumbar spine during high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation according to parameters of practitioner contact (location, applied force) in healthy participants and two categories of low back pain participants.
