Chiropractic Care Beats Family Physician Care for Low Back Pain
Acute low-back pain is a very common condition many people suffer from. After comparing care provided by family physician medical doctors with care that included “chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy,” researchers found that “compared to family physician-directed usual care, full clinical practice guideline-based treatment including chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy is associated with significantly greater improvement in condition-specific functioning.”
I found the below statement interesting from their page on OM. Seems like when DC’s make these same claims in regards to treating these conditions we’re considered quacks! Go figure!!
Who Can Benefit From OMT?
OMT can help people of all ages and backgrounds. The treatment can be used to ease pain, promote healing and increase overall mobility. OMT is often used to treat muscle pain. But it can also help patients with a number of other health problems such as:
• asthma
• sinus disorders
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• migraines
• menstrual pain
When appropriate, OMT can complement, and even replace, drugs or surgery. In this way, OMT brings an important dimension to standard medical care.
This information is good. I get additional knowledge from visiting this site. I will return, if there is an update of information on this site. thanks
