NICE Guidelines
May 2009
In May 2009 The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) provided guidelines for the ‘Early management of persistent low back pain’. In the guidelines they advocate the use of physical activity and exercise that should be ‘tailored to the person’. They recommend Manual therapy such as Osteopathy including spinal manipulation for up to nine sessions over a twelve week period. They also suggest that one should ‘consider offering a course of acupuncture needling for 10 sessions over 12 weeks’.
Here at ‘The Osteopath’ all the practitioners provide the relevant knowledge and expertise.
