Bottom Line: So, you’ve got back pain. It’s altered your life, changed your daily
activities, curbed your exercise, and maybe even made you a bit irritable. Now
what? Well, it's important to know you’re not alone. Nearly everyone will
experience back pain at some point in their life. Thankfully we have a method
of care to help you get back on your feet without the risks associated with
medications and surgery. Chiropractic! Research has shown that
adjustments help over 90% of people recover from back pain.
Why it Matters: Recovering from a back injury can be mentally tough. Many of us don’t
realize what we take for granted until an injury alters our perspective. But
with the correct evidence-based care, you will be back and better than ever in
no time. Over the past few years, there have been considerable advancements in
our understanding of the best treatments for back pain. Here are a few of the
latest research updates:
- Adjustments have been shown to be more
effective at reducing pain than many commonly prescribed medications
- Chiropractic adjustments provided more
patients with relief than spinal injections; showed a recent study
from JMPT
- Researchers found patients had just as
much relief with chiropractic adjustments as they did with surgery
Next Steps: When recovering from a back injury it’s important to keep a positive
attitude, stick with your care plan, and avoid “pushing” through the pain. Your
body is designed to heal naturally, without the need for drugs and surgery. Our
chiropractic team will work with your body's natural healing instinct to create
a specific care plan and help you get your life back.
