In this video, Dr. Matthew Davis, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, shares important information showing recent research that supports the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments in treating acute and chronic conditions.
Chiropractic is practiced all over the world, and is an increasingly popular as well as effective form of treatment. In fact, many medical doctors recommend that their patients seek chiropractic care for a variety of conditions before pursuing more invasive measures such as surgery.
Roughly 80% of adults have experienced back pain at some point. In a study by Consumer Reports, 14,000 back pain sufferers were surveyed and rated chiropractic adjustments as the #1 treatment option.
In a similar study by the Annals of Internal Medicine, 272 recent onset neck pain patients were treated using three different methods:
• Medication
• Exercise and
• Regular Chiropractic Adjustments
At the conclusion of the twelve-week study, patients who had regular chiropractic adjustments were twice as likely to be pain free as those who were treated with medication and exercise.
Chronic head pain, including migraines is another common condition that chiropractic adjustments can provide relief for.
In a study that tracked 127 migraine sufferers, those who received regular chiropractic adjustments reported a decrease in the number of migraine attacks and less need to take medication.
With the rising costs of healthcare, specifically prescription medication, mitigating pharmaceutical costs can provide extra benefits.
Recent statistics show chronic pain sufferers utilizing chiropractic adjustments for treatment of back pain experienced a 20% reduction in overall care costs and may help save Medicare costs by more than $80 million per year.
