The new FDA guidelines for treating low back pain is advising physicians to consider alternatives like chiropractic and massage and motor control exercise.

Further, they recommend passive therapies like chiropractic and massage, and active exercises like tai chi, yoga and other short-duration motor control exercise (MCE) like StrongPosture®.
