Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Nowak and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our South Buffalo office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future episodes.
Research Proves Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent paper from the University of Utah verifies what our South Buffalo patients have experienced: your South Buffalo chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back pain.
In this article, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. Each patient 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 subjects who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other papers 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. Nowak and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
