Hello and welcome to the Evidence Based Chiropractor. I am your host, Dr. Jeff Langmaid. And on today's episode we have a fantastic piece of research that we're going to highlight. It is titled effects of Spinal Manipulative Therapy on Inflammatory Mediators in Patients with Nonspecific Low Back Pain. This was in chiropractic and manual therapies just a couple years back and I am happy to highlight it. So they kick this one off strong. They cite at the very top of this study that spinal manipulation has been recognized as an effective form of non pharmacological treatment for low back pain. Couldn't have said it better myself. Anybody that's out there, with very rare exceptions still prescribing medication, it's so outdated, it's so outlandish. They should be held accountable. It's just silly. At this point in time, based upon the overwhelming amount of research such as the study we're going to highlight today, highlighting the fact that spinal manipulation, what we do with spinal adjustments, is the way to go most of the time.
