Chiropractic Therapy More Effective for Easing Low Back Pain

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. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Harrisburg 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 an excellent way to prevent future issues.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort

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

In this article, 747 participants 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 discovered is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less 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. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
