Nobody likes to be in pain especially when every move you make aggravates a sensitive lower back. With up to 80% of the community expected to experience back pain throughout their life, we should be thinking about back pain as more of a modern day health epidemic than just that old ‘pain in the back’.  Supporting this line of argument are recent studies and reports that make the case for problems caused by back pain and the need for better pain management solutions.

‘The Global Burden of Disease Study’ by the World Health Organisation (WHO) labelled back pain a major cause of disability, affecting performance at work as well as overall levels of health and well being.   The study also placed back pain amongst the top 10 conditions that contributed to ill health, disability or early death.

Is Joint Manipulation Safe?

Joint ManipulationThe question as to whether chiropractic adjustments are safe has been asked many times over the years. The truth is that millions of patients have benefited from chiropractic adjustments, reporting to their chiropractors that their pain is relieved and their lives have been bettered. In fact, many chiropractic patients swear by their chiropractic adjustments, and yet the question still remains … is joint manipulation safe? According to the website of the Mayo Clinic, “Chiropractic adjustment is safe when it is performed by someone trained and licensed to deliver chiropractic care.” The fact is that no medical treatment comes with zero risk; however, joint manipulations that are performed by chiropractors in New Jersey have an excellent track record for safety and effectiveness.
