What if chronic low back pain isn’t just structural—but neurological?

This peer-reviewed study shows that systemic manual therapy, including Barral abdominal motility and visceral protocols, can positively influence central sensitization, even when treatment is applied far from the pain site.

If you work with complex pain, this article may change how you think about treatment.
