U.S. GOVERNMENT REPORT SAYS CHIROPRACTIC IS BEST FOR LOWER BACK PAIN
According to a government study done by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, spinal manipulation is the most effective treatment for acute lower back pain.
Lower-back pain is suffered, at one time or another, by up to 80 percent of adult Americans. Next to the common cold, it is the most common reason men and women visit primary care physicians.
For lower back pain this is some of what the report recommends:
1. Spinal manipulation by a chiropractor.
2. Low-stress exercise such as walking, swimming or biking, if the problems are “mild or moderate.”
3. More rigorous “conditioning exercises” for the trunk muscles to start and gradually increase after the first two weeks of pain.
