Preventing Low back pain

Dr. Jennifer DickiesonWe all know that Chiropractors can treat low back pain but when it comes to preventing low back pain Chiropractors can also help!

SPINE Journal an evidence – based and world renowned organization has been studying Chiropractic adjustments and preventing low back pain. The Journal has stated that maintenance (at a frequency of 2x month) adjustments to the lumbar spine can prevent future episodes of lumbar spine pain! Pain and disability scores were significantly reduced with the group receiving maintenance treatment.  In their own words,  “we suggest that maintained Spinal Manipulation is beneficial to patients with chronic low back pain, particularly those who gain improvement after an initial intensive manipulation treatment plan. Maintenance care can maintain the improved  pain and disability levels.”

Awesome! Many chiropractors have seen this over and over again in practice but it is nice to have some evidence to back it up!
