Unilateral and Multiple Cavitation Sounds During Lumbosacral Spinal Manipulation Based on our findings, spinal manipulative therapy practitioners should expect multiple PSs that most often occur on the upside or the downside facet articulations when performing HVLA thrust manipulation to the lumbosacral junction (ie, L5-S1). However, whether the multiple PSs found in this study emanated from the same joint or adjacent ipsilateral or contralateral facet joints remains unknown. A single model may not necessarily be able to explain all of the audible sounds during HVLA thrust manipulation.
