Helps for back pain: Multiple studies have demonstrated that spinal manipulation for low back pain, both acute and chronic, is helpful. It was more effective than medication and at least as helpful as massage or physical therapy. Most back pain gets better regardless but chiropractic care is a technique to hasten pain recovery & improve function. Spinal manipulation may alter pain perception and improve mobility.
