Back Pain

Aching, Burning, Sharp, Shooting, Radiating.
If you are suffering from back pain, you are not alone.

Eight of every 10 people will suffer from back pain at some point in their life. Back pain is the leading cause of disability in people under age 45 and the third leading cause of disability in individuals over 45. Whether your pain is acute or chronic, it is wise to be evaluated by a chiropractor. Chiropractors are trained as non-surgical spine specialists. The Doctors of Chiropractic at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic manage back pain and provide alternatives to traditional invasive approaches such as muscle relaxants, injections and surgery. Chiropractic is shown to be an effective method for the management of back pain. The chiropractors at LVC have strategies for managing non-surgical spinal pain such as spinal manipulation, mobilization, flexion-distraction, and Active Release Technique®, and therapeutic exercise.

Chiropractic Worked for Consumer Reports Readers

The consumers reported and chiropractors are the best choice when it comes to satisfaction with back pain treatments.  In a recent Consumer Report Survey evaluating “Relief for your aching back,” chiropractic treatments were rated highest (59%) followed by spinal injections (51%), massage (48%) and physical therapy (46%). When asked who helped the most, the percentage of people who were completely or very satisfied with their “back-pain treatments and advice” ranked Doctors of Chiropractic at the top of their list (59%) followed by physical therapists (55%), acupuncturists (53%), physician specialists (44%) and primary care-doctors (34%).  “About 80 percent of the adults in the U.S. have been bothered by back pain at some point. The Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center recently surveyed more than 14,000 subscribers who experienced lower-back pain in the past year but never had back surgery. More than half said the pain severely limited their daily routine for a week or longer, and 88 percent said it recurred throughout the year.” Chiropractic worked for Consumer Reports’ readers and may work for you or someone you know who is suffering with back pain. Chiropractors are non-surgical spine specialists who focus on the evaluation and management of spinal pain. With years of extensive training, Doctors of Chiropractic are fully qualified to treat spine and other musculoskeletal disorders.
