Spinal manipulation is one of the most effective treatments for acute adult low back pain.
Dr. John Triano, D.C. of Dallas was among 23 health care professionals that spent two and one half years developing the federal guidelines by studying research data from around the world. Low back pain is the most common cause of disability for people under age 45. Low back pain is second only to the common cold as a primary reason for visiting a physician's office. Surveys indicate more than 50 percent of working age adults experience low back pain and 15 to 20 percent of those people seek medical help every year. Effective chiropractic treatment early in the course is the most logical means of reducing the financial impact to society and individual suffering.
