Study Summary

The goal of this study is to enroll and randomize 99 participants with non-specific low back pain into a multimodal strategy of treatment consisting of a combination of dry needling (DN) and spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), DN only, and SMT only, followed by an at home exercise program. All groups will receive their respective treatment twice a week for 2 weeks followed by a 2-week home exercise program. Primary outcomes include clinical subjective (Oswestry Disability Index, numeric pain intensity rating) and mechanistic (lumbar multifidus, erector spinae, and gluteus medius muscle activation) measures assessed at baseline, 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Timepoints at 2-weeks and 4-weeks will be compared to baseline measures to determine effectiveness of the combination group against the other single treatment groups. Exercise compliance will be measured by participants self-reporting adherence to the program by selecting average number of days per week the exercises are completed.
