Abstract:

Spinal manipulation is a commonly used modality for the treatment of low back pain with increasing evidence of positive outcomes. Adjunctive therapies such as hydrotherapy, flotation and exercise prescription are also used with effect for a range of clinical conditions including low back pain. This report introduces the potential role of combining spinal manipulation and adjunctive Flotation Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (Flotation REST) in the treatment of acute non-specific low back pain. Outcome measures were used to assess the effectiveness of this combination of therapies and demonstrated both amelioration of pain and improvement in level of disability. The results support implementing a more detailed study with larger numbers of participants.
