Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the comparative benefit of thrust and non-thrust manipulation on a population of patients with low back pain. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in 4 week outcomes or greater, between the two groups.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Low Back Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Thrust manipulation

Thrust manipulation is a passive procedure which involves a high velocity low amplitude thrust to the spinal region
