Is Chiropractic Right for Me?

There are tens of millions of satisfied chiropractic consumers who have made chiropractic care a regular part of their health routine for back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, and other injuries. The reasons that people love chiropractic are mostly rooted in the efficacy of the treatment. Chiropractic is a really great safe and proven method of treating pain related to joints, muscles and nerves without the use of drugs, needles or knives.

Lehigh Valley Chiropractic is right for you if you are suffering from back pain, disc herniation, muscle tightness or tension, headaches, migraines or sports injuries and you are looking for an alternative from the traditional treatment methods. You are a good candidate for chiropractic care if you are motivated to get better and willing to do what is asked of you (like specific exercises and movement out of the office) as a part of your therapy. Also, chiropractic adjustments are a hands on approach, so you’ve got to be okay with a manual type of therapy.

To put you even more at ease and help you to determine if chiropractic is right for you, listen to this. Studies show that chiropractic consumers are more satisfied with chiropractic care than medical care when it comes to conditions like low back pain and neck pain. Take a peek at a few studies that prove just that:

“Patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction at one month than patients treated by family physicians. Satisfaction scores were higher for chiropractic patients. A higher proportion of chiropractic patients (56 percent vs. 13 percent) reported that their low-back pain was better or much better, whereas nearly one-third of medical patients reported their low-back pain was worse or much worse.”

“Acute and chronic chiropractic patients experienced better outcomes in pain, functional disability, and patient satisfaction.”

– Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Haas et al. (2005)

“Chiropractic patients were found to be more satisfied with their back care providers after four weeks of treatment than were medical patients. Results from observational studies suggested that back pain patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than with medical care. Additionally, studies conclude that patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than they were with physical therapy after six weeks.”
