Thoracic Spine Manipulation is a technique that has been found to be help for people with neck and arm symptoms. In a recent research study, Young et al assessed the effects of thoracic manipulation on patients with cervical radiculopathy. They found that one session of manipulation to the mid back region had a positive impact on patient's pain, range of motion, and disability.
This technique should not be viewed as a "cure-all" or "quick-fix" for neck and arm pain. It is something I use to just help people start moving better with less pain. Recovery from cervical radicular pain can still be challenging and take some time, but treating a bit away from the neck can many times help patients start to feel and move more which can help them recover faster.
