UK Public Hospitals to Offer Acupuncture for Low Back Pain
"This guideline will help patients understand what treatment and care can help them with their back pain and shows that there can be a positive outlook for treating this condition."
But others were critical of the recommendations.
Professor Edzard Ernst, an expert in complementary medicine at Peninsula Medical School, told BBC he was surprised by the guidance and particularly by NICE's recommendation of spinal manipulation.
"It feels as though the panel was biased in favour of this approach thus over-rating its effectiveness and under-estimating its risks which can be considerable. In my view, a critical risk benefit analysis of the most reliable data fails to come out in favour of chiropractic.
"We must remember that no optimally effective treatment for back pain exists."
