Chiropractic Adjustments Suitable for Lessening Low Back Pain

Chiropractic Care Shown as Effective for Back Discomfort in Depew

Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal problem. Dr. Palmer and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Depew office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future issues.

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort

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 event of back issue.

In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. Each patient 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 discovered is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.

Other studies have found the same results. A 2012 study found 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.
