If you have back pain and you’re going to a medical doctor, you’re going to the wrong person, and you will not get the best treatment for it. Like if you had chest pain and you went to your chiropractor, you would be going to the wrong person. However, if you came to me with chest pain, I would personally take you to the ER if needed. If you go to your medical doctor with back pain, they will most likely not refer you to the doctor that has the best treatment with the most scientific evidence proving that it works best.
The Quickest, Cheapest, Most Effective Treatment
Research has proven repeatedly that chiropractors are the most qualified doctors when it comes to treating back pain. It’s also proven that chiropractic care helps people with back pain recover faster, cheaper, and with less complications than any other type of care. The research is now so overwhelming that if a doctor doesn’t at least recommend chiropractic care to a patient with back pain, their competency should be questioned.
There are a lot of problems that come with pain killing drugs. However, they’re prescribed for back pain all the time, despite study after study that they’re ineffective, dangerous and addicting. For twenty years I have successfully treated all kinds of very painful conditions without the use of any drugs. Why use these drugs with all of their side effects if it’s so unnecessary?
I could go on and on about the overuse, abuse, and incorrect use of all kinds of treatment for back pain. For now, I highly recommend the articles below. They explain much of what I have written in great detail with excellent scientific references. I would love to hear what you learn from reading these articles. I guarantee you will learn a ton.
