Chiropractic Care Better for Reducing Back Pain

Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Dr. Valente and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our New York office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to protect against future episodes.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Issues

A recent paper from the University of Utah confirms what our New York patients have experienced: your New York chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back discomfort.

In this article, 747 participants were treated for low back issue. 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 discovered 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. Valente and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
