چکیده
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in both developed and developing countries and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden on individuals and society. To date, few studies have investigated the clinically meaningful effects of chiropractic care on chronic LBP. Given the high prevalence of LBP and the limited effectiveness of current treatment approaches for chronic LBP, further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of chiropractic interventions.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted among patients with chronic LBP who were referred to private chiropractic clinics in Shiraz, Iran. Eligible participants had experienced LBP for more than three months and had no pathological abnormalities other than those involving the lumbosacral spine. Data were collected at two time points: baseline (the first visit) and eight weeks after treatment. Treatment outcomes were assessed using three instruments: the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the Global Rating of Change (GRC) self-assessment questionnaire.
Results: A total of 141 patients with a mean age of 40.18 ± 10.42 years were included in the analysis. Of these, 40 (28.4%) were male. The mean differences in disability and pain intensity before and after the intervention were statistically significant (P < 0.001). The mean ± SD GRC score was 56.13 ± 33.03%. No significant differences in GRC scores were observed among patients with mild, moderate, or severe findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Conclusion: Overall, chiropractic care may serve as an appropriate adjunct to conventional treatments for improving disability and reducing pain intensity in patients with chronic LBP.
