Staying with the comparative research line, this study from last year compared manipulation to lumbar epidural injection (again this procedure is not approved by the FDA) for MRI confirmed disc herniations. The manipulation group reported 77% improvement and the epidural injection group only 63% improvement. Also the manipulation group was an average of $200 less expensive.
Any surprises here?
