Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Oregon Medical Centers and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Aloha / Beaverton, OR office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to avoid future problems.
A recent paper from the University of Utah verifies what our Aloha / Beaverton, OR patients have reported: your Aloha / Beaverton, OR chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back pain.
In this study, 747 patients 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, a physiatrist (also known as a rehabilitation physician), or a physical therapist.
What the researchers found is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.
Other papers 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. Oregon Medical Centers and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
