The effectiveness of the McKenzie method in addition to first-line care for acute low back pain: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: When added to the currently recommended first-line care of acute low back pain, a treatment programme based on the McKenzie method does not produce appreciable additional short-term improvements in pain, disability, function or global perceived effect. However, the McKenzie method seems to reduce health utilization although it does not reduce patient’s risk of developing persistent symptoms.Trial Registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12605000032651 (Source: BMC Medicine)
