Rachialgia, whether it is cervicalgia, chest pain or low back pain, are among the most common reasons for consultation with the general practitioner in Europe.~In 2018, the therapeutic strategies for non-specific acute and subacute spine are diverse based on country clinical practice guidelines. Recommendations are rest or maintenance of normal activity, medications, surgery, psychological support, physiotherapy, acupuncture and manipulations.~Most of the guidelines, notably from Germany, Belgium, France, England and the United States, recommend spinal manipulation. In general, it can be recommended alone, or accompanied by usual care, or integrated into a multimodal treatment program. May be recommended in acute, chronic or not recommended.~The strength of osteopathy is that it tries to understand the musculoskeletal balance as a whole.~However, the differences in recommendations can be explained by the weaknesses of osteopathy, which are related to a technical and methodological problem.~The first technical problem is at the level of osteopathic clinical examination. While much of this clinical examination is based on palpatory tests, there is evidence that these range of motion palpatory tests have low sensitivity regardless of the examiner's experience.~The second methodological problem is the use of protocols.~This study attempts to propose a solution to these two problems: by proposing for the clinical examination tests of induced pain that have a greater sensitivity than palpatory tests of movements, and a comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment protocol that should allow the study to be both reliable and valid in order to be true to osteopathic values and to accept the Evidence Based Medicine methodological evaluation model.~The aim of this study is to evaluate the Osteopathic Protocol in 2 sessions (PO2).
