Chiropractic Treatment Better for Easing Low Back Issues

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. Gadsden Family Chiropractic and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Gadsden office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future episodes.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort

A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Gadsden patients have reported: your Gadsden chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back injury.

In this article, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. Each person 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 found is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less 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. Gadsden Family Chiropractic and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
