Summary

This study is for active-duty military members and their families who have chronic back or neck pain. It will test treatments like acupuncture, laser therapy, and shockwave therapy to see if they reduce pain and improve daily life. The goal is to find safer, non-drug options to help people feel better and stay ready for duty.
