Summary
This study tested whether adding chiropractic manipulation to standard physiotherapy helps people with a herniated disc in the lower back. Forty-five adults were split into three groups: one got only physiotherapy, another got physiotherapy plus lumbar manipulation, and the third got physiotherapy plus sacroiliac manipulation. Researchers measured pain, disability, fear of movement, and range of motion to see which approach worked best.
