There have been many popular research studies the last few years
that prove how effective chiropractic care is. Here is another one!
A study published in the April 2011 issue of the Journal of
Occupational and Environmental Medicine suggests that when it comes
to work-related low back pain, the risk of disability recurrence is
lower for patients treated primarily by a doctor of chiropractic
compared to patients treated by a physical therapist or a medical
physician.
So not only were the patients who received chiropractic care
instead of medical care having less recurrence of back pain, they
were also spending less money.
This study is more good news for chiropractic patients, and just
months after the study in the research journal Spine that found
chronic low back patients who received 9 months of chiropractic
maintenance treatments after their first month of initial treatment
reported significant improvements in pain and disability.
In other words, the patients received frequent chiropractic care
for one month, then for 9 months continued to receive maintenance
chiropractic care, and after 10 months the study showed that
chiropractic care improved patient’s pain and quality of life
better than medical care.
So as you can see, there’s lots of great information coming out
that is proving what we already knew, that chiropractic care is one
of the safest, most affordable, and best treatments for back pain.
The bottom line is that chiropractic care just works. It helps
people with pain, it helps athletes perform better, it helps
children through their growth and development, and it helps
people’s overall quality of life.
If you know someone in your life that you think could benefit from
chiropractic care, share this information with them. I’d love to
help them and make their life better.
Have a great day, and if you have any questions, just send me an
email or I’ll talk to you at your next appointment!
Sincerely,
Dr. Justin Trosclair
