Neck And Low Back Pain Effectively Managed By Chiropractic

A recent study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics shows that spinal manipulation is an effective treatment for neck and low back pain.
Researchers reviewed the files of 512 patients who had received Chiropractic treatment for neck and low back pain. 119 patients were selected for inclusion in the study and all1l9 had neck and low back pain as their chief complaint and were all diagnosed with sprain, strain, misaligned vertebrae or headaches.
Pre and post-treatment pain and disability were measured. Treatment included spinal manipulation, various soft tissue techniques, home care instructions and return-to-activity and rehabilitation advice were offered.
The results of the analysis showed a significant reduction in disability
and pain in all groups. The low back pain group showed an average 53% reduction in pain and disability and the neck pain group had a 54% reduction in pain and disability.
Patients suffering from neck pain and headaches had significantly higher pre and post-treatment pain and disability scores than patients with only neck pain.
Thus, ...
... patients who received Chiropractic treatment for neck and low back pain had significant reductions in pain-related disability following treatment. The results indicate that spinal manipulation is beneficial for treating neck and low back pain.
