The primary outcome measure of Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) scores at 16 weeks were found improved (p=0.003) with structured chiropractor care in comparison with the usual family physician care. Also, the treatment group showed improvements in disability, bodily pain, and physical function at 24 weeks follow up (p=0.004).
