Chiropractic Treatment Suitable for Easing Back Discomfort

Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal injury. Moon Chiropractic and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Coraopolis office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future episodes.

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Chronic Back Issues

A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Coraopolis patients have experienced: your Coraopolis chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back issue.

In this study, 747 patients were treated for low back issue. Each patient was evaluated based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.

What the authors found is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.

Other papers 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. Moon Chiropractic and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
