Joint Manipulation – Joint Mobilization: Research Studies & Tratamento 

What is Joint Manipulation – Joint Mobilization?

Joint mobilization is a manual therapy intervention, a type of passive movement of a skeletal joint. It is usually aimed at a ‘target’ synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. Joint mobilization is used in restoring decreased mobility, however, this method may not be as effective as perceived.

Joint Manipulation – Joint Mobilization: Research Studies

  1. A systematic review is a type of literature review that collect and critically analyze multiple research studies or papers. A systematic review by Rubinstein et al. researched the the effectiveness of spinal manipulation therapy for those suffering from chronic lower back pain.24 This study assessed 26 randomized controlled trials including 6070 participants.24  Evidence showed no significant difference between spinal manipulation therapy and other intervention approaches.24 
  2. A systematic review is a type of literature review that collect and critically analyze multiple research studies or papers. A systematic review published by Canter and Ernst studied the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for treatment of multiple regions of pain, including, but not limited to, back and neck pain.32 16 trials were included for the purpose of this study.32 Evidence suggested that spinal manipulation was ineffective for all evaluated forms of pain.32 

Based on the evidence presented in the included systematic reviews, spinal manipulation does not appear to be an effective form of treatment for different pain types, including back pain.  While spinal manipulation is seen as ineffective, ASTR treatment has shown evidence in a recent study that show it can be effective for many evaluated forms of pain. ASTR stands for Advanced Soft Tissue Release, a manual therapy specialty developed by Dr. Joesph Jacobs, DPT. ASTR takes a holistic approach to treating the source of soft tissue restriction in a way that is virtually pain-free and highly effective.
