Neural structures of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic conduction emerge from the segments of the cervicothoracic spine. The application of high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) techniques at this segment can generate responses in heart rate (HR), blood pressure and sympathetic nervous activity o...
