It appears that the lack of good scientific research regarding spinal manipulation has fueled skepticism and deterred many physicians from learning its indications, contraindications, and techniques. Overall, there is sufficient evidence supporting spinal manipulative therapy in the short-term management of back pain. Further research is required to evaluate its long-term effectiveness and to better define the most appropriate indications for its use. With the recent increase in scientific research and improved studies in the future, spinal manipulation should be better understood by the medical profession as another option for the treatment of back pain.
关于脊柱推拿缺乏良好的科学研究，这似乎引发了怀疑，并阻碍了许多医生学习其适应证、禁忌证和技术。总体而言，有足够的证据支持脊柱推拿疗法用于背痛的短期治疗。需要进一步的研究来评估其长期疗效，并更好地确定其最适合的应用指征。随着近期科学研究的增加以及未来研究的改进，脊柱推拿作为治疗背痛的另一种选择，应该会被医学界更好地理解。
