“Spinal Manipulative Therapy seemed more effective than medication according to various measures of neck pain and function.”

“For pain, Spinal Manipulative Therapy had a statistically significant advantage over medication after 8, 12, 26, and 52 weeks.”

“For participants with acute and subacute neck pain, Spinal Manipulative Therapy was more effective than medication in both the short and long term.”
