Back Pain
|
About 85% of the population will experience disabling low back pain at least once during their lives. Low back pain is so widespread that according to one researcher, 6.8% of the Australian adult population is currently suffering from an episode of back pain lasting more than two weeks. Scientific studies comparing chiropractic care with medical care and physical therapy show that chiropractic treatment relieves chronic and severe pain, both immediate and long-term, in one-half the time it takes orthodox medical physicians. More than 60 scientific studies demonstrate the value of chiropractic adjustments as the most effective and cost-effective form of treatment for dysfunctional problems in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines. |

The Medical and Surgical Approach
The standard medical approach to back pain varies depending on the severity of the condition. Common approaches include the use of muscle relaxants, painkillers, rest and physical therapy such as traction, diathermy, hot packs and cold packs. Unfortunately, none of these treatments have proven to be helpful. If the problem does not improve or worsens, then surgery may be performed. Studies have shown that chiropractic methods work better, are safer and are less costly than standard medicine for lower back complaints.
