"42% say the chiropractic treatment was excellent, vs 26% for medical treatment"
In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, patients who suffer from back pain rated the satisfaction they received from chiropractic care as far superior compared to patients seeking care from other medical practitioners.
Chiropractic treatment not only provides more relief for back pain, but chiropractors, because we see our patients more frequently for treatment, get to know their patients better. We learn about a patient's health goals, levels of physical activity, stress factors and even about their dietary habits. This allows us to better serve a patient's health condition and to provide an effective treatment regimen.
Often back pain is a result of a long-standing problem that can go unnoticed until an episode of pain occurs. Chiropractic can help get to the root of the cause, as opposed to covering up the symptoms with pain relievers. Correcting the cause provides more satisfying solutions for back pain. That's why we feel chiropractic is the best initial treatment for all forms of back pain.
