Acute Pain: Spinal Manipulation
Acute low back pain – pain that lasts up to 6 weeks in
duration – responds to
spinal manipulation according to a new article in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that studied published
randomized clinical trials. This review shows
that spinal manipulation offers modest improvement in
pain and function with no serious adverse effects.
(2)
JAMA also printed an editorial by the esteemed
medical doctor and author, Richard Deyo, MD, about spinal manipulation for back
pain referencing Paige’s study. The editorial clarifies
that spinal manipulation treatment for acute
low back pain is appropriate.
Its use is in line with the American College of Physicians review and
subsequent guideline. Spinal manipulation allows modest
improvement in pain and function in the short-term in comparison
with sham manipulation, usual care and other treatments. And of note, Deyo points
out that, of the trials reviewed by Paige et al and
the American College of Physicians, none suggested that spinal manipulation care
was less effective than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). SMT
proved equal to or better than conventional care.
