Study in Spine Magazine: Chiropractic better than Medicine for acute low back pain

New Spine Magazine Study

A new study in Spine magazine, (October 2010), the most prominent medical journal for spinal studies, stated that chiropractic manipulation was superior to medical treatment for acute low back pain. This study is the first to compare chiropractic treatment with standard medical treatment that you would receive from your general practitioner. Although this is the first study to compare manipulation to general practitioner treatment, there are dozens of studies supporting manipulation as being the best treatment for acute low back pain. Last year there was another study in Spine magazine touting the superiority of chiropractic manipulation for chronic low back pain. Chiropractic treatment is the safest and most effective treatment for low back pain. If you are experiencing low back pain don't live in pain.
