Chiropractic Treatment Effective for Lessening Low Back Discomfort

Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Jefferson Spine & Injury Center and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Arlington office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to prevent future episodes.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort

A recent study from the University of Utah verifies what our Arlington patients have reported: your Arlington chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back injury.

In this article, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. 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 authors found is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had less 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. Jefferson Spine & Injury Center and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
