CRD SUMMARY: The author's conclusion appears to be that there is some suggestion of an early benefit of spinal manipulation in patients with disc herniation, but there were insufficient good-quality trials to reach definitive conclusions. Given the methodological weaknesses in the included studies and the review process, and the limited reporting of study results, the author's conclusions should be treated with caution.
