Chiropractic Adjustments Effective for Reducing Low Back Issues

Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments Shown as Effective during Treatment of Low Back Discomfort in Lenexa

Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Dr. Isom and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Lenexa office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to hold off future issues.

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Chronic Back Injuries

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

In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. 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 researchers found is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.

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