American College of Physicians New Guideline For Back Pain

Clinicians and patients should select nonpharmacologic treatment with superficial heat massage, acupuncture, or spinal manipulation ( A.K.A. Chiropractic Care), the American College of Physicians says in its new guidance.

It may be a big change for many doctors, who often turn to pills first for patients who are in pain.

For patients with chronic low back pain, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends non-drug therapy first, the organization says in the new guidelines, published in the Annals of Internal medicine.
