Chiropractic Adjustments Better for Reducing Low Back Issues

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 issue. Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Mt Sterling 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 avoid future problems.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Chronic Back Injuries

A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Mt Sterling patients have experienced: your Mt Sterling chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back discomfort.

In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back issue. 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 authors found is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less 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. Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
