Abstract :Objective: This study aimed to analyze scientific articles on low back pain and chiropractic in the Scopus database. The data were downloaded on October 24, 2023. As no previous bibliometric analysis on these keywords was found in the literature, this study was deemed necessary. Method: The data were analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software. A total of 2,906 articles were examined, of which 254 were strongly interconnected, forming 18 common clusters. However, 1,165 articles were included in the final analysis. Results: The United States leads in the number of publications, while Denmark is at the forefront of international collaboration efforts. The most cited study, \\\"A Comparison of Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Manipulation, and Provision of an Educational Booklet for the Treatment of Patients with Low Back Pain,\\\" by Cherkin et al. (1998), published in The New England Journal of Medicine, has received 499 citations. The most cited journals in this field are the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapy, Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, and the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. The University of Southern Denmark is the leading institution in terms of research output. The most prolific author is Leboeuf-Yde, with 39 publications. The most frequently used keywords include chiropractic, low back pain, and manipulative. Conclusion: These findings are valuable not only for researchers studying low back pain and chiropractic but also for anyone interested in potential future developments in the field. Ultimately, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of chiropractic care in orthopedic rehabilitation and provides a roadmap for future research.
