Segmental changes in pain sensitivity (mechanical and thermal) and lumbar stiffness following SMT. The segmental changes in global stiffness (N/mm), pressure pain threshold (kPa), and heat pain threshold (degrees Celsius) presented for 30% improvement in disability. Estimates are presented as mean and 95% confidence intervals for each time-point. Segments are divided into the segment targeted, the adjacent segments to the targeted segment, and all other segments. SMT = spinal manipulative therapy
