“Patients in the second and third groups [that received spinal manipulation therapy] experienced significantly lower pain and disability scores than the first group [placebo group] at the end of 1-month period.”

CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
After one month of acute care (3x/wk for 4 weeks) spinal manipulative therapy elicited significant improvements in pain, functional ability, and quality of life compared to placebo. |
CLINICAL IMPLEMENTATION FOR PATIENT RESULTS A maintenance chiropractic care program consisting of care every 2 weeks not only prevented relapse and a waste of initial investment, but paid huge dividends in continued improvements! |
