Summary

This study looks at whether watching someone else's positive or negative experience with spinal manipulation can change pain relief and inflammation in people with chronic low back pain. About 73 adults will be randomly assigned to see a positive, neutral, or negative example before receiving the same spinal adjustment. Researchers will measure pain, disability, and blood markers of inflammation before and after treatment.

What could go wrong
