Back Pain and Chiropractic

Back pain is the second most common reason to see a doctor, surpassed only by visits for the flu and cold. With up to 80% of adults suffering from back pain at some point in their lives, it's no surprise that a number of treatment options exist for relieving this common condition.

Unfortunately, traditional treatments for back pain, like medication, epidural steroid injections, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery are not always effective for long-term relief. Chiropractic care has been used for more than a century to safely and effectively treat back pain. Now, a growing body of scientific research is showing just how effective chiropractic can be for back pain and related symptoms. Some research has suggested that chiropractic can prevent back pain better than traditional treatments, and enhances treatment outcomes when incorporated into standard medical care. Other research has shown chiropractic provides better relief than an anti-inflammatory drug, dicoflenac.

Rather than masking the symptoms of pain with medication, chiropractic care can address the underlying cause of your back pain to facilitate long-term recovery.
