Last of six programmes The Manipulators
Back pain costs Britain about a million pounds a day in time off work and sickness benefits, yet only a few doctors working in the National Health Service offer manipulative treatment.
Robert Eagle finds out how effective manipulation is in treating bad backs, and asks the Minister of Health if it isn't time that osteopaths and some other alternative practitioners were brought into the NHS.
