New Spine Journal Study Shows the Benefit of Chiropractic Spinal Maintenance Therapy

Here is the abstract of the first ever randomized study on manipulation maintenance therapy for chronic low back disorders that will be published in the prestigious Spine Journal. The maintenance group actually showed even further improvement after the 10 once per month treatments! This is a very important study because of the benefit to patients and because chiropractic maintenance treatment is controversial among many non chiropractic providers and stakeholders. Of course further future randomized trials will be helpful to more fully confirm the benefit.
