In health care, spinal manipulation is a type of musculoskeletal manipulation that is an "adjustment and manipulation of the vertebral column."[1]
Spinal manipulation may help lumbalgia according to a systematic review of studies[2]; however, a more recent trial disputes this finding by suggesting a placebo response."The results of this study indicate attenuation of pain sensitivity is greater in response to SMT than the expectation of receiving an SMT". [3]
