Chiropractic and Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Many suffering from lower back pain have turned to chiropractic to help improve their quality of life.
What is Chiropractic?
- Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and self-regulating, directed by the nervous system.
- The nervous system is the body’s communication system, carrying messages between the brain and every muscle, organ, and tissue.
- The spine protects these nerves, and when spinal bones lose proper alignment or motion, they can interfere with nerve communication.
- This interference is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can disrupt how the body functions, adapts, and heals—often before pain is felt.
- Chiropractors locate, analyze, and adjust vertebral subluxations to reduce nerve interference and restore clearer brain-body communication.
- When communication improves, function improves, allowing the body to express health and life more fully.
How can chiropractic help people with lower back pain?
- By locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, chiropractors help reduce or remove interference within the nervous system.
- When interference to the nervous system is reduced, communication between the brain and the body can function more clearly and efficiently.
- When brain-body communication improves, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal.
What are some of the other benefits of chiropractic care?
- Greater capacity to handle life’s demands
- Improved adaptability and resilience
- Optimized whole body function
- Greater vitality and energy
- Unlocking your life potential
What does the research say?
- A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found chiropractic care was more effective than medication for acute lower back pain.
- Another study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found chiropractic care more effective than medication for chronic lower back pain.
- Multiple studies in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation demonstrate the effectiveness of chiropractic care in reducing lower back pain.
- According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic is a safe and effective treatment for lower back pain, with high patient satisfaction.
- The American College of Physicians recommends that people with acute and subacute lower back pain try non-drug therapies such as chiropractic before taking medication.
