Spinal Manipulation (Physiotherapy / Chiropractic)
for Back Pain - Chronic
Spinal manipulation and mobilisation by physiotherapists, osteopaths, or chiropractors reduces acute and subacute low back pain through mechanical and neurological mechanisms.
How it works
Restores segmental joint mobility, reduces local muscle guarding, and may modulate pain via endogenous opioid and serotonin release. Cavitation (cracking) is not necessary for benefit.
What to watch for
Evidence supports use for non-specific low back pain. Not appropriate for back pain with progressive neurological symptoms, osteoporosis, or inflammatory arthritis. Choose a registered practitioner (AHPRA).
