In health care, spinal manipulation is a type of musculoskeletal manipulation that is an "adjustment and manipulation of the vertebral column."[1]

Spinal manipulation may help lumbalgia according to a systematic review of studies[2]

More recent trails have conflicting results with one trial showing some benefit[3] and a second trial suggesting a placebo response."The results of this study indicate attenuation of pain sensitivity is greater in response to SMT than the expectation of receiving an SMT". [4]
