Some
experts* estimate that as many as 80% of all of us will experience
a back problem at some time in our lives?.
Because back problems are this common it's probably going to
happen to you too! Shouldn't you find out what to do about it
before it happens rather than after? Why wait until you're hurting
to learn about your treatment options?
When you're
hurting you may not give this important decision the time and
attention it needs to make the best choice.
Here are the facts about manipulation as a treatment for back
problems:
Manipulation, also frequently called the chiropractic adjustment,
is one of several established forms of treatment used for back
problems. Used primarily by Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) for
the last century, manipulation has been largely ignored by most
others in the health care community until recently. Now, with
today's growing emphasis on effective and economic health treatment,
manipulation is receiving much more widespread attention. In
fact, after an extensive study of all currently available care
for low back problems, the Agency for Health Care Policy and
Research - a federal government research organization - recommends
that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care
first, and recommends spinal manipulation as the ONLY safe and
effective, DRUGLESS form of initial professional treatment for
acute low back problems in adults.
Chiropractic manipulation has been used extensively by Americans
for the last one hundred years. Satisfied chiropractic patients
already know that DCs are uniquely trained and experienced in
diagnosing back problems, and the most skilled in using manipulation
for the treatment of back pain and related disorders. To learn
more about the federal government's recommendations and how
chiropractic manipulation may help you, ask Dr. Hsieh
