Most of us suffer from back ache at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal issue. The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Amite City 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 protect against future issues.
A recent study from the University of Utah verifies what our Amite City patients have reported: your Amite City chiropractor is the best first option for an event of back discomfort.
In this study, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. Each person 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 fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other studies 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. The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
If you live near our Amite City office and would like to get out of pain, give our office a call today at (985) 247-2898 for an appointment.
