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 pain. Drs. Ken Haycock & Tim Vierheller and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Massillon, OH 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 a great way to prevent future problems.
Research Shows Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Massillon, OH patients have reported: your Massillon, OH chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back pain.
In this paper, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. 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 found 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. Drs. Ken Haycock & Tim Vierheller and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
