OrthoIllinois Chiropractic shares these NEW back pain guidelines and recommendations:

 

 

The American College of Physicians recommends non-drug and non-invasive treatment of acute, subacute and chronic low back pain. Spinal manipulation is specifically named as one option. (1) Any stage of McHenry back pain or McHenryneck pain is welcomed at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. Our McHenry chiropractic care applies to any stage of pain! The Cox Technic system of McHenry back pain relief decreases intradiscal pressures, widens the intervertebral spinal canal area by up to 28%, and enhances spinal mobility.

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) printed a review study of randomized clinical trials – high level research studies – about spinal manipulation for relief of acute back pain (back pain up to 6 weeks in duration). This review finds that spinal manipulation provides modest improvement in pain and function with no serious adverse effects. (2)  

 

JAMA also published an editorial by the well-known medical doctor and author, Richard Deyo, MD, about spinal manipulation for back pain referencing Paige’s study. The editorial explains that spinal manipulation treatment for acute low back pain is fitting. Its use is in line with the American College of Physicians review and subsequent guideline. Spinal manipulation produces modest improvement in pain and function in the short-term in comparison with sham manipulation, usual care and other treatments. And of note, Deyo points out that, of the trials reviewed by Paige et al and the American College of Physicians, none suggested that spinal manipulation care was less effective than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). SMT proved equal to or better than conventional care. (3) 

 

Cox Technic spinal manipulation as offered at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is well documented as to how it biomechanically and clinically enhances back pain: days and visits to maximum improvement as well as the effects it has on spinal elements like disc pressures and spinal canal area. Your chiropractor offers this cutting edge, well-documented, and researched form of spinal manipulation.  Schedule a McHenry chiropractic appointment at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for back pain relief with spinal manipulative care.
