Although most adverse events following these interventions are benign and transient, serious adverse events have been reported mostly following spinal manipulative therapy. Given the significant impact serious adverse events can have on patients\u2019 lives, identifying factors that may be associated with serious adverse events following spinal mobilization and manipulation of the low back and pelvis would allow for a more specific pre-treatment screening, potentially reducing the occurrence of serious adverse events following these popular interventions and contributing to a safer treatment delivery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review will consider interventional and observational studies that report serious adverse events following lumbopelvic spinal mobilization or manipulation experienced by people of any age.
