In this video, Dr. Matthew Davis, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, shares important information looking at the latest non drug back pain therapies that medical guidelines are recommending.
For the first time, the American College of Physicians is advising drug free measures for treatment of back pain like chiropractic, tai chi, yoga, and massage before resorting to over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers.
The ACP guidelines also have moved further away from "low-value”s treatments. Low value treatments are those treatments that have now shown to be very ineffective in helping patients achieve relief. Examples of low value treatments are doctors prescribing opioids due to their risk of addiction or overdose, performing MRIs and surgeries, and giving injections (such as steroids) to treat back pain.
If you are looking for a safe high value non drug back pain therapies, chiropractic is the best choice. A new Consumer Reports survey of more than 3,500 back-pain sufferers reached similar conclusions: Nearly 90 percent of people who tried spinal manipulation found it helpful.
