Assessing Patient Response to Therapeutic Exercise Based on Clinical Prediction Rule (CPR) for Spinal Manipulation

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Low Back Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who meet the criteria of the clinical prediction rule for spinal manipulation may respond more favorably to repeated exercises according to a direction of preference (what makes the symptoms decrease). The investigators do not know which of these two commonly-used treatments (manipulation or specific exercise) is better to treat low back pain.
