Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Michael Chanatry and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Jacksonville, FL office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to protect against future episodes.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Jacksonville, FL patients have reported: your Jacksonville, FL chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back pain.
In this paper, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each person 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 found is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other papers 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. Michael Chanatry and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
