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 pain. Dr. Szilagyi and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Harleysville, PA office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future problems.
Research Proves Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent study from the University of Utah confirms what our Harleysville, PA patients have experienced: your Harleysville, PA 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 authors discovered is that the subjects 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. Szilagyi and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
