Spinal Manipulation 104: LBP Clinical Trials / 1 Credit
Learning Objectives:
- Illustrate the importance of positive within- and between-session ‘patient response’ as a potential prognostic indicator for outcomes in low back pain patients.
- Determine if early application of thrust manipulation (SMT) is more effective than early application of non-thrust mobilization in patients with mechanical low back pain (LBP).
- Justify the use of regional versus non-regional use of spinal manipulation (SMT) in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP).
- Examine the relation between improved disability and changes in the lumbar multifidus and abdominal thickness following two spinal manipulation (SMT) treatments in patients with low back pain (LBP).
- Identify the optimal dose (number of visits) of spinal manipulation (SMT) for the care of chronic low back pain (cLBP).
