The new State of Oregon Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines for the Evaluation and Management of Low Back Pain recommend spinal manipulation as the only non pharmacological treatment for acute lower back pain.
The guidelines, which have been adopted by the Oregon Health Authority, are a collaborative effort between the Center for Evidence-Based Practice, Oregon Corporation for Health Care Quality, Oregon Health and Sciences University's Center for Evidence-based Policy, and the new Oregon Health Evidence Review Commission.Source: Dynamic Chiropractic
Lower back pain is the second leading reason people make appointments to see their family doctor ( Upper Respiratory Infection is #1). And worldwide more money is spent on the treatment of lower back pain than heart disease and cancer. So, why has it taken so long for a Government entity to acknowledge the effectiveness Chiropractic compared to other conservative forms of care?
Like any Doctor, when you find a good one stick with him/her and continually update them on your entire health status, not just your back.
