The Evidence for Chiropractic and Back Pain
Should You See A Chiropractor for Lower Back Pain? Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the UK, affecting roughly 80% of adults at some point in their lives. If you are struggling with a "tweaked" back or chronic stiffness, you may be wondering if a chiropractor is the right choice.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines actually recommend manual therapy—such as spinal manipulation and massage—as a first-line treatment for persistent lower back pain. At our clinic on The Parade, we combine these adjustments with tailored exercise plans to not only treat the pain but prevent it from returning.
Key benefits for back pain include:
Reduced Inflammation: Adjustments help restore joint mobility, which can decrease local swelling.
Improved Mobility: We focus on the "mechanical" causes of pain, helping you get back to walking, gardening, or sports.
Non-Invasive: A drug-free alternative to painkillers.
