Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain

A new Cochrane systematic review of chiropractic treatment for low back pain was published this month (April 2010). The review reflects favorably for chiropractic care and states that “Combined chiropractic interventions slightly improved pain and disability in the short-term and pain in the medium-term for acute and subacute LBP.” The review goes on to point out that there is a great need for future research including research that compares the relative efficacy of different interventions with chiropractic treatment.
