Education and spinal manipulation for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining education about pain with spinal manipulation (hands-on treatment of the spine) can help people with chronic low back pain feel more in control of their health. You'll receive education and spinal manipulation sessions to see if they reduce your pain and improve your daily function.
