Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Although chiropractors treat more than just back pain, the most common reason for a patient's visit is to find relief from this familiar condition. In fact, about 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. While sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of movements like picking up trash off the floor can have painful results. Chiropractic manipulation is a safe, effective, non-evasive, and non-pharmaceutical spine pain treatment.
