Advanced spinal movements (ASM) as manipulative treatment in back pain and promotion of spinal column

The segments of the spine are cushioned with cartilage-like pads called disks. Problems with any of these components can lead to back pain. In some cases of back pain, its cause remains unclear. Low back problems affect the spines flexibility, stability, and strength, which can cause pain, discomfort and stiffness. Approximately 80% of individuals will experience an episode of lower back pain at some time during their life.
