Chiropractic Treatment Helpful for Lessening Back Discomfort

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 issue. Dr. Elganainy and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Burton office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future problems.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Pain

A recent paper from the University of Utah verifies what our Burton patients have experienced: your Burton chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back issue.

In this study, 747 patients 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 men and women who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.

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. Elganainy and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
