One Spinal Manipulation Session Does Not Affect Static, Quasi‐Static and Dynamic Balance or Pressure Pain Threshold in Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Controlled Trial
Key Points
The research aims to evaluate the impact of a single spinal manipulation session on balance and pain threshold in individuals with chronic low back pain.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial design.
Included individuals diagnosed with chronic low back pain.
Administered one session of spinal manipulation.
Measured static, quasi-static, and dynamic balance parameters and pressure pain threshold.
No significant changes were observed in balance parameters after the manipulation session.
Pressure pain threshold remained unchanged following the intervention.
Abstract
These findings suggest that a single session of spinal manipulation may not be sufficient to induce measurable changes in balance parameters in this population.
