Chiropractic Cuts Healthcare Costs

Cost is an important factor when considering our health care options. Research finds that chiropractic is effective and less expensive than more invasive medical treatments.

Low Back Pain after Auto Injury

Many people report back pain after a car crash. A study looked at the biomechanics of lumbar spine injury from auto collisions and found that the car seat is most likely the culprit. Your spine has a natural curve shape. During a crash, if the shape of your car seat does not match your spine exactly, the violent acceleration can cause some parts of your spine to move more than other parts. This can stretch and tear ligaments in your spine, causing the following:

• Pain

• Inflammation

• Scar Tissue

• Nerve Injury

• Permanent Damage

If you’ve been injured in a crash, chiropractic may be able to help. Chiropractic is a proven, effective approach for both acute and chronic back pain.

Chiropractic Alleviates Neck Arthritis

A study suggests that chiropractic can help patients with arthritis suffering from neck pain. The case study focused on the treatment of atlantoaxial arthritis in older adults. This form of arthritis occurs when the subluxation of the neck joints causes reduced range of motion and pain in the neck, back of the head, and over the eye.
