Description:Ìý
This project was a collaboration between the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research (PCCR) and the University of Pittsburgh. The grant funded a three-year research project to learn more about the underlying factors of pain relief following spinal manipulative therapy. The project also included a student research training component, the first of its kind at a chiropractic college. Ìý
