Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Marsh and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our West New York office, and we've found that chiropractic care and osteopathic treatments are highly effective ways to not only help you recover from back pain, they are also excellent ways to hold off future episodes.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our West New York patients have experienced: your West New York chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back pain.
In this article, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. Each person 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 found is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.
Other papers have found the same results. A 2012 study found 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. Marsh and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
