Chiropractic Care Suitable for Lessening Back Pain

Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Dr. Jung and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Pinole office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to protect against future problems.

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Chronic Back Issues

A recent study from the University of Utah verifies what our Pinole patients have experienced: your Pinole chiropractor is the best first choice for an episode of back injury.

In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back issue. Each person 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 researchers found is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.

Other papers have found the same results. A 2012 study found 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. Jung and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
