Most of us suffer from back problems 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 highly effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future episodes.
Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort
A recent paper from the University of Utah confirms what our South Buffalo patients have experienced: your South Buffalo chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back problem.
In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. 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 researchers discovered is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other studies 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. Dr. Nowak and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
