Mechanisms of Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Low Back Pain

This is a mechanistic randomized controlled trial on the effects of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy on patients with chronic low back pain. It is designed as a mechanistic trial, in which the main objective is to identify which variables related to central sensitization can help predict the response to spinal manipulation, and the evolution of which of these variables can help explain clinical changes in chronic low back pain patients receiving spinal manipulative therapy.
