Grade V – This grade refers to the use of a single high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust performed at the end of the available joint play.
[3] In recent years, practitioners of physical therapy and rehabilitation have suggested that the existence of the arthrokinetic reflex implies that joint mobilization may be useful in addressing chronic pain conditions such as lower-back pain [ 4 ] or as a way to improve sports-related performance.

[3] A 2008 randomised controlled trial by Reid et al. suggested a statistically significant correlation between SNAGS treatment and reduced dizziness, cervical pain and disability caused by cervical dysfunction, [ 4 ] whilst another randomised controlled trial in 2007 by Hall et al. suggested that a self-sustained C1-C2 SNAG technique was ...
Replacing a portion of carbohydrates with protein and fat may help improve cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, a new study indicates.
Grade II – moderate changes with narrowing of joint space, bony proliferation on the metatarsophalangeal head and phalanx and subchondral sclerosis or cyst. Grade III – severe changes with significant joint space narrowing, extensive bony proliferation and loose bodies or a dorsal ossicle.
A new study found the biggest risk factors and predictors at 60 for dementia at 80. Neurologists weigh in on the research and share ways to prevent dementia.
