Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel placebo for comparison to spinal manipulation is believable and creates similar expectation for treatment effectiveness as the studied spinal manipulation technique. Additionally, we wish to compare outcomes related to low back pain, function, and pain sensitivity between people receiving the placebo, spinal manipulation, and no therapy.
