Alexandria, KY Back Pain Treatment
Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Wagner and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Alexandria, KY office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future problems.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Alexandria, KY patients have reported: your Alexandria, KY chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back pain.
In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each person 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 fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other papers have found the same results. A 2012 study found 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. Dr. Wagner and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
