The inevitable has happened, and you're suffering from back pain.
Don't worry, you're not alone, because 80% of people will develop back pain at some point in their lives.
Back pain accounts for over 264 million sick days every year, and it is the leading cause of disability around the world.
If you haven't suffered from back pain yet, the odds are not in our favor.
Luckily, most back pain is temporary. Most cases are gone within six weeks.
Back pain can flare up again from time to time, and it can even become chronic. That's when the real issues arise.
So what are the best treatment options for back pain that just won't go away?
Many people start out with a medical doctor who will evaluate the symptoms and treat it with a prescription or over-the-counter medication.
In more extreme cases, they will refer the patient to a back surgeon to correct the problem.
Is that the best course of action, though?
Many people are skipping the medical doctor altogether and choosing to see a chiropractor instead.
Chiropractors are known for their care of back pain, that often achieves results equal to or better than pain medications or surgery, without the side effects.
So what has made chiropractic care a popular choice when it comes to relieving back pain?
In the article below, we will discuss surgery, drug therapy, and chiropractic care as options for treating back pain.
