Chiropractic Therapy Helpful for Lessening Low Back Pain

Most of us suffer from lower back pain at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal injury. Dr. Delson and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Springfield 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 avoid future issues.

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Pain

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

In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. 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 subjects who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.

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. Delson and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
