Most of us suffer from back ache at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal problem. ChiroWerx and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Charlotte, NC office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future issues.
A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Charlotte, NC patients have experienced: your Charlotte, NC chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back pain.
In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back problem. 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 authors found 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. ChiroWerx and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
