Exploring Spinal Manipulative Therapy: Evidence and Implications
This chapter reviews a systematic analysis of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) against other pain management interventions, revealing its comparable effectiveness to recommended therapies but with low evidence certainty.

Additionally, it highlights the urgency of developing self-management strategies in light of the rising prevalence of chronic back pain and the need for further research on SMT, particularly for elderly patients.
