This section describes the application of high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusting techniques to correct somatic dysfunctions of the cervical spine. The vertebra may be placed into one or all of its barriers to motion. Frequently with this technique, however, only one plane of motion is addressed. When this motion restriction is corrected, the other planes of restriction respond as well. After placing the vertebra into its restrictive barrier, the physician applies a rapid, gentle force through a very short distance to pass through the barrier.
