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 pain. Dr. Amodeo and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Memphis office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future problems.
Research Proves Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent paper from the University of Utah confirms what our Memphis patients have reported: your Memphis chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back pain.
In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each patient 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 discovered is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other studies 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. Dr. Amodeo and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
