Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of lumbar manipulation will improve function, decrease pain, and recurrence in adolescents with low back pain. The secondary aim of this study is to determine if a modification of a clinical prediction rule by Flynn will be effective in identifying adolescent patients with low back pain who would benefit from lumbar manipulation.

Primary Outcome

The Patient Specific Functional scale asks the participant to nominate 3 important activities they are not able to do or are having difficulty performing because of their back pain. Each activity is scored on a numerical rating scale from 0 (unable to perform) to 10 (able to perform at pre-injury level).
