Comparing Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Radiofrequency Ablation in the Management of Chronic Low Back Pain: A Literature Review
Year: 2026
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide, often resulting from facet joint dysfunction, muscular imbalance, and degenerative spinal changes. While conventional management includes pharmacologic therapy, physical rehabilitation, and surgical intervention, non-surgical approaches such as Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) have gained clinical attention. OMM is a non-invasive, hands- on modality aimed at restoring musculoskeletal balance and mobility, whereas RFA is a minimally invasive technique that disrupts nociceptive signaling from facet joints.
