A
misaligned vertebra impairs the nervous system. Good health requires vertebrae to be in
proper alignment - a goal attainable only
through spinal adjustments, the crux of
chiropractic care.
Spinal
manipulation is helpful for patients with back
pain. Specifically, manipulation is useful for
common acute low-back pain.
The main
benefit of manipulation therapy is rapid relief,
because it frees patients from back pain in
a shorter period of time than other treatments.
Chiropractors
are winning increased acceptance from the
medical community and the public at large. In
fact, they treat twice as many people for back
pain as medical doctors do. There is little
doubt that chiropractic medicine is effective
for cases of acute back pain. |
