While some chiropractors claim to treat a multitude of conditions, the fact is, chiropractic manual therapy has been shown to be effective primarily for low back pain, neck pain and headaches. Other forms of physical medicine, which some chiropractors provide, can be quite effective for treating herniated discs (see Averting Disc Surgery). This is supported by scientific evidence.
Although science supports good outcomes with chiropractic and other forms of physical medicine procedures for back & neck pain; a specific diagnosis remains an enigma in most cases (85% of the time), even with 21st century technology. More contemporary assessment procedures are still evolving and improving outcomes.
This is helping health care providers to better group individuals into subcategories that will more likely respond favorably to more specific types of care; thus, better outcomes, less time and money wasted on care that may not be beneficial.Our goal is to assess your problem and then provide or direct you to the best form(s) of care and management that will likely benefit you the most; whether that be manual therapy, physical therapy, self care, medication, surgery or other.
