Chiropractic Adjustments Helpful for Lessening Back Issues

Most of us suffer from lower 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. Ellis and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Woburn office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to prevent future issues.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps With Chronic Back Issues

A recent article from the University of Utah confirms what our Woburn patients have reported: your Woburn chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back injury.

In this study, 747 patients were treated for low back problem. Each person was assessed 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 individuals who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.

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