Chiropractic Adjustments More Effective for Easing Back Discomfort

Chiropractic Treatment Methods Shown to Be Effective for Back Discomfort in Depew

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 discomfort. Dr. Palmer and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Depew 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 issues.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps With Chronic Back Issues

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

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

What the researchers found is that the subjects 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. Dr. Palmer and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
