Most of us suffer from back problems at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal issue. Dr. Kallio and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Lincoln office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a great way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also an excellent way to avoid future episodes.
A recent study from the University of Utah verifies what our Lincoln patients have experienced: your Lincoln chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back injury.
In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back discomfort. Each person was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.
What the authors discovered is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other studies have found the same results. A 2012 study reported that chiropractic patients had the best functional recovery and pain relief for chronic back pain.
Chiropractic works by restoring the natural, pain-free function of your spine. Dr. Kallio and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
