Back Pain and Chiropractic Care

Are you one of the millions suffering from back pain?

​Low back pain is a very common condition affecting millions of people everyday. It is currently estimated that 90 billion dollars per year are spent on back pain treatments.   

Did you know that multiple studies have shown chiropractic care/spinal adjustments to be the most effective treatment for low back pain when tested against medication and exercise?  Take, for instance, the 2004 British Medical Journal UK BEAM (United Kingdom Back Pain, Exercise, and Manipulation) study.  This was a randomized trial to test the effectiveness of various physical treatments for back pain.  The study showed that manipulation provided the greatest response to care for patients with un-resolving lower back pain; and if cost or time is an issue, manipulation alone provided a greater net benefit than exercise alone.
