Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Denise Carradine and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Boardman, OH office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future issues.
A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Boardman, OH patients have reported: your Boardman, OH chiropractor is the best first choice for an episode of back pain.
In this study, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. 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 reported 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. Denise Carradine and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
If you live near our Boardman, OH office and would like to get out of pain, give our office a call today at (330) 758-4446 for an appointment.
