If you are suffering from back pain then chiropractic is the logical choice of treatment as chiropractors have been helping people with back pain since it was discovered well over 100 years ago.
Back pain is extremely common – about 80 percent of people are affected at some point in their lifetime. Anyone can get back pain at any age, but it’s more common in people over the age of 35.
To date the evidence has shown that chiropractic for back pain is remarkably safe, effective and cost-efficient.
