Chiropractic Care
Spinal manipulation and musculoskeletal alignment therapy. One of the most widely used complementary therapies globally with strong evidence for low back pain and moderate evidence for neck pain and headaches.
How Chiropractic Care Works
Spinal manipulation applies a controlled force to specific vertebral joints, restoring range of motion, reducing muscle spasm, and modulating pain signals via the gate control theory. This triggers reflex relaxation of paraspinal muscles and may reduce local inflammation.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
ACP guidelines recommend spinal manipulation as first-line treatment for acute low back pain. Comparable to NSAIDs for pain relief.
