Comparing two manual therapies for low back pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two hands-on treatments, the Graston Technique and diacutaneous fibrolysis, to see which works better for reducing low back pain, improving function, and enhancing quality of life. If you have non-specific low back pain (pain without a clear cause), this trial may help you find a new way to manage your symptoms.
