One of the first things that those unfamiliar with chiropractic treatment want to know is: Will it work? The fact is that spinal manipulation involving the application of force to move joints to relieve pain provides immediate benefits for most patients with low-back pain, but not for all. As is the case with cancer, glaucoma, and a host of other diseases and conditions, back pain is a collection of different kinds of problems. Thus, no single treatment can be expected to be as successful in one back-pain sufferer as the next. Of course, the chiropractor tailors treatment in accordance with specific causes of each patient’s condition. This approach is usually successful, but patients must find out for themselves.
A continuing schedule of regular chiropractic checkups can help detect, correct, and maintain optimum spinal and nervous system function. Find out how chiropractic care, combined with proper diet, exercise, and other aspects of good health and personal hygiene, can enhance your well-being and help you enjoy life to the fullest. Call FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC at 617.472.4220 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 112 McGrath Hwy., Quincy. We are able to adjust patients sitting, standing, or lying down to accommodate any level of discomfort.
P.S. Because back pain may arise from a strained muscle, a “slipped” disc, abnormal body mechanics, and many other conditions, the source of the pain must be clearly identified before it can be treated with the most suitable and effective therapy.
For Your Health,
