Chiropractors treat back pain by realigning misplaced vertebral joints and releasing muscle tension. While pain killers such as acetaminophen remain a first-line treatment for lower back pain among medical doctors, they may not be as effective as users assume. In fact, recent examination of the results of 13 research trials found that the drug did nothing to improve sufferers’ pain levels, recovery time, or quality of life. The study concluded that the pain medication was no more effective than a placebo. Separate research has found acetaminophen to be associated with an increasing incidence of mortality and increased risk of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and kidney disease.
These findings make an even better case for drugless chiropractic treatment for lower back pain. Among people seeking back pain relief alternatives, most choose chiropractic treatment.
