Because not all back pain is the same, each case should be treated differently. This approach to treating back pain was recently underscored by a study in which back-pain patients were divided into two groups—those receiving targeted treatment and those receiving non-targeted treatment. The patients in the targeted-care group were evaluated on the basis of their risk level, and then were provided different levels of physiological and psychological treatment. In the final analysis, those who received targeted treatment showed significant improvement while the nontargeted patients did not. This research shows that some mediumand high-risk patients may miss out on treatments that could prove beneficial. Chiropractic evaluation can help these individuals identify the appropriate treatment.
If you suffer from back pain, why not give chiropractic a try? At FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC, we recommend a continuing schedule of regular chiropractic checkups, which can help detect, correct, and maintain optimum spinal and nervous system function.

Chiropractic works!
P.S. In the study mentioned above, the targeted patients missed fewer days of work due to back pain and experienced better physical and emotional functioning, higher quality of life, and reduced disability from back pain. They also saved money on health bills.
