Back pain breakthrough? simple moves may fix spinal shift
NCT ID NCT07080047
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two physical therapy approaches for people with chronic low back pain caused by a pinched nerve, where the spine also shifts to one side. 28 adults aged 30-60 took part. The goal was to see if the McKenzie method (a specific exercise technique) works better than standard therapy for reducing pain and improving movement.
