Follow the link below to vote on the British Medical Journal poll on Cervical Thrust Manipulation. This will always be a controversial subject and the few responses have some great points. You all know my vote was no! Follow the link and vote! As of 4:52 EST 6-12-12, the no's are winning!
As for the yes's, no one is forcing you to do it, and you obviously are not. You have no right to tell others who are appropriately educated, trained, and licensed they cannot perform a safe, comfortable, and effective technique in the right cases. Should it be exclusively performed? Of course not, always the right technique for the right patient at the right time, and after an informed consent.
