How effective is chiropractic manipulation for acute back pain and sciatica?

A study published in the Spine Journal compared active versus simulated chiropractic manipulations on patients with sciatic nerve pain.

Active manipulations involved the patient laying down and receiving hands-on treatment from a chiropractor. 

Simulated manipulations involved electrical muscle stimulation with electrodes placed on the skin to send electrical pulses to different parts of the body.

The study concluded active chiropractic manipulations have more effect than simulated manipulations on pain relief for acute back pain and sciatica with disc protrusion.

Healthcare continues to evolve to less-invasive, natural and drug-free methods of care, placing chiropractic care as a first-line care choice.
