Hands-on physical therapy for low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, hands-on treatment called Mulligan mobilization for people with long-term low back pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. The goal is to see if this technique helps reduce pain and improve movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
