- Spinal manipulation,
the back pain treatment most commonly offered by chiropractors,
is no better or worse for treating low back pain than conventional
treatments, such as exercise, pain killers and physical
therapy, a team of doctors announced Monday.
- Of the three
alternative back pain treatments, only massage "may
reduce the costs of care after an initial course of therapy,"
the authors conclude.
