Chiropractic Treatment More Effective for Lessening Low Back Issues

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 problem. Dr. Priolo and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Ronkonkoma office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future problems.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Chronic Back Pain

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

In this paper, 747 patients were treated for low back injury. 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 researchers discovered is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.

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