The most effective conservative spine treatment?

[Justin]

Which one of the following choices (in the attached poll), has been the most effective* conservative spine treatment?

*decreased pain, increased quality of life

I listed physical and aquatic therapy separately--for these two choices I also mean "daily exercises for low back & abdominal strength" and "swimming," respectively.

It'll be interesting to see what people rate in this poll. It seems to me, though, that it is often the combination of 2 or more conservative treatments that provide the optimum effectiveness. I've voted for osteopathy, but it had to be combined with exercises/pilates/swimming. No one of these on their own were enough to be helpful.

Hi Justin

Great Poll,
I was thinking of a poll on people with lumbar issues and c spine
issues. Seems to me we end up with both??

Thanks
