What is it about?
The results of this clinical outcome-based audit suggest that chiropractic manual care may be of benefit over usual care with simple analgesics for residents of a TC with spinal pain. The results intimate that benefits may extend across both the physical and psychological components of the pain experience.

Why is it important?
Reduction of spinal pain using Chiropractic care may affect both mental and physical well-being.
Perspectives
Chiropractic has been shown to be effective for some types of spinal pain and is recommended for acute spinal pain management. Furthermore, when chiropractic is delivered in a care package that includes assessment, advice and basic exercises, it is associated with high levels of patient satisfaction. Therefore, a package of care that includes Chiropractic, being non-pharmacological, appears a “natural fit” within a Therapeutic Community.
