Did You Know…
Back pain is one of the common presenting complaints in a Doctors office. Almost 80% of the general population will experience low back pain during their adult life. At any given time, 20-30% of adults suffer from low back pain. Physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists and an assortment of other professionals together offer about thirty-six different therapeutic modalities for the treatment of low back pain.

Chiropractic Can Help
The largest study published to date on the treatment of low back pain concluded: “On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatment for low back pain. Many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate…There is also good evidence in the literature to suggest that spinal manipulations are less safe and less effective when performed by non-chiropractic professionals…There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physicians to chiropractors”.

The prestigious British Medical Journal reports; “At three years the results confirm an earlier report that when chiropractic or hospital physiotherapists treat patients with low back pain as they would in day to day practice, those treated by chiropractic derive more benefit and long term satisfaction than those treated by hospitals”.
