Top Healthcare Organizations Recommend This for
Low Back Pain…
Bottom Line:
According to The Lancet, low back pain is the number one source of disability in the world. If you’ve dealt with low back pain in the past, you understand just how much it can alter your daily life. Even simply standing up straight can feel like an incredibly impossible task, and for that reason, many top healthcare organizations have begun to publish recommendations for the best ways to take care of low back pain.
Their findings may surprise you.
Why it Matters:
The care provided by chiropractors ranks at the top of many leading healthcare recommendations for relieving low back pain. Movement-based strategies like spinal adjustments, controlled exercise, and dynamic stretching are a few of the most effective ways to relieve low back issues. Not only are movement-based strategies good for providing fast relief, but emerging research shows that they may be able to offer a preventative effect when continued over time.
The days of taking drugs and medications for back pain are over. Prescriptions are now rarely
recommended as a first option because of their dangerous side effects and, frankly, lack of results.
- The American College of Physicians supports chiropractic care for the treatment of back pain.
- Both Harvard Health and The Mayo Clinic have published numerous articles highlighting chiropractic and movement-based treatment options for low back pain relief.
- Clinical care guidelines discourage the use of medication for low back pain due to the risks, dangers, and lack of results.
