Most of us suffer from lower 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. Jane Steffen Bye and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Shoreview, MN office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future episodes.
A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Shoreview, MN patients have reported: your Shoreview, MN chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back pain.
In this study, 747 patients were treated for low back pain. 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 researchers discovered 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 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. Dr. Jane Steffen Bye and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
