THE BENEFITS of CHIROPRACTIC
|
|
Thirty-one million
Americans have low back pain at any given
time. One half of all working Americans
admit to having back symptoms each year. One
third of all Americans over the age of 18
have had a back problem in the past
five-years severe enough for them to seek
professional help. These are just some of
the astounding facts about Americans and
their miserable backs! Is there any wonder
why some experts estimate that as many as
80% of all Americans will experience a back
problem at some time in their lives.

Chiropractic care is the
modern conservative approach to health care
that is affective in treating children as
well as senior citizens. It is a
conservative method for many different
problems that originate in the spine and
nervous system ranging from headaches to
disc herinations.

In the past, several
research projects have statistically shown
the effectiveness of chiropractic care when
treating low back pain. The RAND corporation
and leading medical experts on back pain
released their 1991 findings after
participating in a joint research project
targeting the effectiveness of chiropractic
manipulative therapy. The team’s initial
findings revealed that spinal manipulation
is an appropriate form of treatment for
certain types of low back pain.

Chiropractic care does not only help injured
workers but also helps improve the quality
of life for retired workers.
Chiropractic care programs are design to
promote proper nutrition, regular exercise,
joint and spinal manipulative adjustments,
as well as other natural health care
procedures. The goal of the chiropractic
physician is to keep an individual active,
alert and in the main stream of life. |
