For Low Back Pain, Look to Keller TX Chiropractic
It is estimated that eight out of ten people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. A recent study on the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the U.S. estimated that 40 million Americans aged 20-64 will experience frequent low back pain, with 15% suffering from low back pain lasting up to two weeks at a time.
There is no clear-cut way to resolve back pain, but chiropractic offers promise.
A study compared one-month outcomes for 93 chiropractic patients and 45 medical patients with chronic, recurrent low back pain. Chiropractic care included spinal manipulation and physiotherapy, averaging four visits. Medical care averaged one visit and frequently included anti-inflammatory drugs.
Patients treated by chiropractors showed better overall improvement and satisfaction after one month than patients treated by family physicians. Chiropractic patients showed substantial decreases in pain severity, functional disability, and pain quality.
If you are suffering from low back pain, the road to recovery may begin with chiropractic. Schedule a consultation and call Keller Spine and Auto Injury at 817-798-4226.
