RESEARCH BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Improves neck pain

The National Institute of health (NIH) reported that chiropractic treatment is as effective as standard medical care, or pain medications for non-specific neck pain.

A 2019 study found that cervical spine treatment may help decrease neck pain by modifying levels of neuropeptides in your blood. Neuropeptides are proteins made in your nervous system that function as neurotransmitters or hormones.

Eases back pain

ACC recommends spinal manipulation as a safe option for acute lower back pain when  combined with staying active, education, and exercise.

The American College of Physicians recommends chiropractic for chronic lower back pain before prescribing medication. 

Reduces headache symptoms

The National Institute of Health (NIH) published a 2016 study that reported 6 to 8 sessions of chirorpactic treatemnt significantly reduced cervicogenic headache intensity and disability compared to mobilization and exercise.

May help athletic performance and prevent injuries

The Journal of Athletic Training noted that chiropractic therapy supports soft tissue recovery and decreases non-contact injury rates. 

Adjustments help restore joint mobility, muscle flexibility, and movement efficiency, which aids overall force transfer.

Improve posture

Several published studies show that cervical adjustments significantly improve forward head posture and body awareness and enhance the nervous system's ability to coordinate posture and balance. 

High satisfaction

In a 2015 study, researchers found that a group of 544 people in chiropractic care reported a high level of satisfaction.   92 percent of people  reported improvements in their pain, and 80 percent reported improvements in their ease of movement.

Reduces reliance on pain medication

A large 2020 study found that adults who visited a chiropractor were up to 50% less likely to get an opioid prescription filled for their pain compared to those who only saw their doctor.
