Chiropractic Treatment Effective for Reducing Low Back Pain

Most of us suffer from back ache at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal injury. Chanatry Chiropractic and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Jacksonville office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to avoid future episodes.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Issues

A recent study from the University of Utah verifies what our Jacksonville patients have experienced: your Jacksonville chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back pain.

In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each patient was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.

What the researchers discovered is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.

Other studies have found the same results. A 2012 study reported that chiropractic patients had the best functional recovery and pain relief for chronic back pain.

Chiropractic works by restoring the natural, pain-free function of your spine. Chanatry Chiropractic and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
