Low back pain is a common medical condition that can improve applying physical methods like heat and cold, taking pain medication, performing self-care and postural correction techniques, remaining active, performing physical activity, etc. However, some cases are more difficult to treat, not responding to conventional treatment methods.

In these cases, trained and specialized health care professionals like chiropractors use certain techniques to relieve low back pain and improve physical function. Spinal manipulation enters into this category and is a now common method used to treat this type of musculoskeletal condition.

We at the Joint & Spine Center are committed to providing preventative and regenerative care to patients that suffer from low back pain at diverse degrees by applying diverse treatment methods thanks to the experience of experts such as Dr. Jeffrey Pruski, a famous chiropractor in Huntsville, TX.

Spinal manipulations can be performed not only by chiropractors, but also by physical therapists, osteopathic physicians, and some medical doctors. These experts practice the manipulation by using their hands or a device in order to apply a controlled force on a joint of the spine.

Studies show that spinal manipulation works as well as conventional treatments, appearing to be a generally safe treatment method for low back pain when practiced following the correct guidelines, of course. Some discomfort in the area can appear as a minor side effect, lasting about 1 to 2 days and serious complications are very rare.

Although spinal manipulation and chiropractic treatments were not approved as valid treatment options for low back pain in previous times, for a few years now these have been accepted by the medical community, promoting its use and application especially in patients that suffer from acute low back pain.

In 2017, the American Medical Association (AMA) published a study in its journal where experts belonging to the association recommended spinal manipulation for acute low back pain patients after reviewing 26 randomized clinical trials.

The study concluded: “Among patients with acute low back pain, spinal manipulative therapy was associated with modest improvements in pain and function at up to 6 weeks, with transient minor musculoskeletal harms.”

This statement certainly was a meaningful step-up for spinal manipulation and chiropractic methods, at least in low back pain treatment options.
