June 24, 2011 — The National Prevention Council (NPC), recently called for the development of a National Prevention Strategy to outline goals and recommendations for improving health and wellness for all Americans.
The National Prevention Strategy highlights several preventative measures throughout the report including alternative therapies for back and neck pain.
According to the report, one key aspect of expanding preventive services is to “enhance coordination and integration of clinical, behavioral and complementary health strategies.” The report also specifically touts the benefits of spinal manipulation stating, “Complementary and alternative therapies for back and neck pain (e.g., acupuncture, massage, and spinal manipulation) can reduce pain and disability.” Read the full report here.
