Abstract

This commentary brings the 2021-2023 thematic series Spinal Manipulation/Mobilization: Past, Present, Future to a close. The 23 papers published in the series contribute to our understanding of spinal manipulation/mobilization(SMT) in a few important domains. They provide evidence on the biomechanics, clinical science, research methods, and policy implications of SMT. They present suggested training, research and policy changes that can be made to improve health care delivery and outcomes.
