This National Chiropractic Health Month consider that many health care professionals recognize the value of conservative, chiropractic treatment for back pain. In fact, a 2013 article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggested chiropractic for low-back pain. Surgery was mentioned as an option only if all else fails. So remember—conservative care first!

Medicare is calling many of today’s spinal fusion surgeries (the permanent joining of two or more spinal vertebrae) “unnecessary.” Common low-back problems, such as stenosis, herniated discs, and disc degeneration are usually better addressed with less invasive treatment.

Patients also risk abuse when taking opioids, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say cause nearly three out of four prescription drug overdoses in the country. In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, don’t risk it. Choose conservative care first!

Choose Conservative Care First. I believe this is the most logical approach to healthcare and that’s why I love being a chiropractor!
October is National Chiropractic Health Month! We would like to encourage all consumers to think “Conservative Care First!” when it comes to their health care, especially when pain is the issue.
For many years, patients would find relief through conservative forms of health care such as chiropractic services only after unsuccessfully trying a range of other, more complex and riskier treatments. Today, that approach has been reversed. Today’s health-conscious patients realize and medical research and guidelines support the idea of exhausting conservative approaches to pain management and other conditions before moving on to other treatments.
“Chiropractic services” refers to manual manipulation and other non-invasive therapies that promote healing. Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are educated in nationally accredited, four-year doctoral graduate school programs, with the average chiropractic program equivalent in classroom hours to medical programs. So this National Chiropractic Health Month, talk to a DC about choosing conservative care first!
