Chiropractic care for low back pain:
According to the ACA,
“After an extensive study of all currently available care for low back problems, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research—a federal government research organization—recommended that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care first. And it recommended spinal manipulation as the only safe and effective, drug free form of initial professional treatment for acute low back problems in adults.”
Gentle chiropractic care is very effective at providing relief from LBP. Chiropractic treatment options include:
- Adjustments
- Traction
- Low back exercises and stretches
