Quote to InspireQuote to Inspirepain intensity.A 2010 review looked at various manual therapies, such as spinal manipulation and massage, for a range of conditions and found strong evidence that spinal manipula-tion is effective for chronic low-back pain and moderate evidence of its effectiveness for acute low-back pain.A 2011 review of 26 clinical trials looked at the effectiveness of different treatments, including spinal manipulation, for chronic low-back pain. The authors concluded that spinal manipulation is as effective as other interventions for reducing pain and improving function. Researchers are now investigating whether the effects of spinal manipulation depend on the length and frequency of treatment.In one study, funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) that examined long-term effects in more than 600 people with low-back pain, results suggested that chiropractic care involving spinal manipu-lation was   ¡ or ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¥ ¦ ¦ ¥ § ¨ © ª ¥ as conven-tional medical care for up to 18 months. Researchers are also exploring how spinal manipulation affects the body. In an NCCAM-funded study, of a small group of people with low-back pain, spinal manipu-lation affected pain perception in specific ways that other therapies (stationary bicycle and low-back extension exercises) did not.

Managing Low-Back PainA review of evidence-based clinicalguidelines for managing low-back painresulted in these recommendations for primary care physicians: • Acute low back pain: Patients with this condition may improve on their own and usually should remain active, learn about back pain and self-care options and consider non-drug therapies, including spinal manipulation, especially if the pain persists longer than 4 weeks. • Chronic low back pain: Long-term use of opioid drugs usually does NOT improve functioning for patients with chronic low-back pain. Chronic low back pain patients may benefit from non-drug therapies, including spinal manipulation.Most chronic low back pain patients will not become pain free; a realistic outlook focuses on improving function in addition to reducing pain.The goal of chiropractic treatment is to relieve pain and improve physical function.Please share this information with those who have low back pain and who have never tried chiropractic!
