Abstract/Notes A single case study is presented in which the use of the pressure pain threshold meter (PPT) allows for the objective evaluation of the treatment effect of spinal manipulation. A 22 year old male with a five year history of right-sided neck, scapular and arm pain demonstrated an average of 45.7% increase in PPT readings in maximal tender points after spinal manipulation. The results are discussed in light of current theories of pain mechanisms related to spinal manipulation.
