Lower Back Pain
Low Back Pain
(08/03) A study published in Spine, tested which method worked better to treat chronic spine pain, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, or drugs. Results: “chiropractic manipulation is superior to both drugs and acupuncture.” Method: 115 patients randomly assigned to receive either manipulation, drugs (Celebrex, Vioxx, or paracetamol), or acupuncture. The patients in the manipulation group reported 47% improvement as compared to 15% for the acupuncture group and 18% for the medicine group. The improvement was not limited to just back pain, but also included improvement of one’s overall health.
