Proof in Practice: Chiropractic and Acute Low Back Pain Relief
In this episode of The Spinal Chat Podcast powered by the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association, we delve into the pivotal role of initial chiropractic care for acute low back pain. We examine the highly-cited study 'Association of Spinal Manipulative Therapy With Clinical Benefit and Harm for Acute Low Back Pain' from the Journal of the American Medical Association, and present compelling data from Washington State illustrating significantly lower odds of surgery for patients who first see a chiropractor. Additionally, we discuss a comprehensive meta-analysis of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) to evaluate its effectiveness and safety, revealing modest but meaningful benefits for pain and function with minimal side effects. The episode underscores the importance of considering chiropractic as a first-line treatment option to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and potentially avoid unnecessary surgeries.
