Structural Integration for Chronic Low Back Pain was a groundbreaking clinical study conducted by Eric Jacobson, Ph.D., a research scientist at Harvard Medical School. It was funded by a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a branch of National Institutes of Health, supplemented by individual donations. The study analyzed comprehensive data on pain disability, psychology, balance, gait and blood biomarkers, with a goal to find new options for back pain treatment.
Initial clinical results were presented by Dr. Jacobson at Harvard Medical School, Integrative Medicine Research Seminar, sponsored by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Spalding Rehabilitation Network.
