Chiropractic Treatment Better for Easing Back Discomfort

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 injury. Dr. Ulvin and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Stacy office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to avoid future episodes.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort

A recent paper from the University of Utah confirms what our Stacy patients have reported: your Stacy chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back pain.

In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back discomfort. 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 subjects 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. Ulvin and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
