Whats the best way to treat back or neck pain?
Chiropractors are specialists in Spinal Health. In study after study we find chiropractic care of spinal problems including manipulative therapy is more successful and cost effective than any other form of treatment. Chiropractors should be the first physicians to go to when spinal injury occurs as long as it is not severe enough to require hospitalization. Chiropractors who use therapeutic massage and exercise rehabilitation in addition to manipulation will have better long term results. For low back pain, particularly sciatica and herniated discs, doctors who use flexion-distraction techniques seem to get very good results. For a referral to a chiropractor in your locale first try the post graduate training service, the Motion Palpation Institute (714-374-2252). Then try the American Chiropractic Association (703-276-8800). Chiroweb.
