Low Back Pain Research
1.) Cifuentes M, Willetts J, Wasiak R. Health maintenance care in work-related low back pain and its association with disability recurrence. J Occup Environ Med. 2011 Apr;53(4):396-404.
- Conclusion - In work-related nonspecific LBP, the use of health maintenance care provided by a physical therapist or physician services was associated with a higher disability recurrence than in chiropractic services or no treatment.
- Study Note - This study was initiated by the "Center for Disability Research at the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety."
2.) Senna, Mohammed K.; Machaly, Shereen A. Does maintained Spinal manipulation therapy for chronic non-specific low back pain result in better long term outcome? Spine (published ahead of print), Jan. 17 2011
- Conclusion - Spinal Manipulative Therapy is effective for the treatment of chronic non specific LBP. To obtain a long-term benefit, this study suggests maintenance spinal manipulations after the initial intensive manipulative therapy.
3.) McMorland G, Suter E, Casha S, du Plessis SJ, Hurlbert RJ. Manipulation or microdiskectomy for sciatica? A prospective randomized clinical study. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2010 Oct;33(8):576-84
- Conclusion - 60% of patients with sciatica who had failed other medical management benefited from spinal manipulation to the same degree as if they underwent surgical intervention. Of the 40% left unsatisfied, subsequent surgical intervention confers excellent outcome. Patients with symptomatic LDH failing medical management should consider spinal manipulation followed by surgery if warranted.
4.) Descarreaux M, Blouin JS, Drolet M, Papadimitriou S, Teasdale N. Efficacy of preventive spinal manipulation for chronic low-back pain and related disabilities: a preliminary study. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2004 Oct;27(8):509-14
- Conclusion - Intensive spinal manipulation is effective for the treatment of chronic low back pain. This experiment suggests that maintenance spinal manipulations after intensive manipulative care may be beneficial to patients to maintain subjective postintensive treatment disability levels.
5.) Haas M, Sharma R, Stano M.Cost-effectiveness of medical and chiropractic care for acute and chronic low back pain. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2005 Oct;28(8):555-63
- Conclusion - Chiropractic care appeared relatively cost-effective for the treatment of chronic low back pain. Chiropractic and medical care performed comparably for acute patients. Practice-based clinical outcomes were consistent with systematic reviews of spinal manipulation efficacy: manipulation-based therapy is at least as good as and, in some cases, better than other therapies.
