In our Burton, MI office, Dr. Elganainy has helped countless people recover from back pain. If you are dealing with back pain, you've probably been tempted to take some medications to decrease the pain. You should understand that studies have shown that chiropractic care is usually a much healthier alternative than drugs when it comes to alleviating this particular type of pain.
In a 2013 report published in the journal Spine researchers included 101 individuals who had experienced back pain for at least two days. Each person was then designated to one of three groups. The first group, which consisted of 37 patients, received chiropractic care and a placebo of the drug diclofenac. The second group of 38 individuals received sham chiropractic treatments and the real drug. The third group of 25 subjects served as the control as those subjects engaged in sham chiropractic and also received the placebo, thus having no real care at all.
All of the participants who received some form of actual treatment, whether through chiropractic or the medication, fared better than the control subjects who had no real care. However, when the two active groups were compared to each other, the people who received chiropractic adjustments had improvements that were "significantly better" than those who took the medications.
Because chiropractic care is non-invasive and involves no use of medication, it helps promote healing without undesirable side effects. For instance, NSAIDs can result in ulcers, hypertension, and other serious health issues. Plus, the health benefits of chiropractic last longer as it's designed to correct the source of the spinal interference, not just treat the symptoms.
