Chiropractic Adjustments vs. Spine Pain Advice: Which One Works Better?


Research has looked into the cost-effectiveness of manual therapy versus advice to stay active for non-specific back and or neck pain


Comparing chiropractic adjustments and advice for spine pain
Comparing chiropractic adjustments and advice for spine pain


We see so many patients coming in with either one or both dysfunctions and globally, low back pain and neck pain are the most common musculoskeletal disorders worldwide


The study looked at getting 6 sessions within 6 weeks


The results after a one year analysis showed that manual therapy is LESS costly and MORE beneficial than advice to stay active for your day-to-day workers


With low back pain having a lifetime prevalence of 84% and being a leading cause of disability- this study is a great example of how chiropractic can help you heal and give you confidence that in a ever-changing world of higher and higher expenses, it’s encouraging to know that it's going to be a financially sound investment coming to the chiropractor


Another Swedish study found that indirect costs for low back pain were substantially HIGHER than direct costs. So I always recommend to patients after the initial acute phase of care, a monthly chiropractic /massage session is always going to be great as it holds the body accountable and you as a patient on making sure our day-to-day hustle, our bad habits, can be monitored and checked to make sure we don't turn a little problem into a larger, chronic problem later on
