I think your question is quite wide. No problem with that, but I suppose there are a lot of articles to consult...Are you looking for something in specific? (prolaps, radicular, aspecific, chronic, acute,....)
Yes I know that my question is pretty wide but that is exactly what I'm searching. I wanna have variety of informations. My patients are mostly with prolapses and radicular pain. But it would be helpful anything you have. Thank you for your interest!
Hello Neven, 'Manual Therapy' and 'low back pain' are key words in your question. Have you tried a simple search for these key words? Even Google produces decent hits.

A little mentioned but extremely common cause of severe low back pain is sacroiliac joint pain. This first video is about the anatomy behind sacroiliac joint pain and how to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzamoElhkAo The second video Is how to examine and treat a patient with a posterior subluxation of the ileum on the sacrum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QX_XkfnPJ8 I will make a third video on treating an anterior subluxation of the ileum on the sacrum. Following this physical medicine correction, the patient should wear a Serola belt to stabilize the pelvis and you should treat the pelvis and the lumbosacral spine with prolotherapy to strengthen the ligaments and tendons holding the sacroiliac joints. Look for this condition in post partum women and in people who have had a fall or another accident.
Re: SIJ. I'm not convinced that it is a common cause of low back pain (LBP). For evidence-based papers, start with Laslett et al., (2005) and Diane Lee's "The evolution of myths and facts regarding function and dysfunction of the Pelvic girdle".
