3 Good Reasons to Use Toronto Chiropractic Care

As your Toronto chiropractor, I have seen firsthand the positive influence that various types of patients can experience from chiropractic care. From those dealing with back pain to office workers managing the consequences of extended sitting, and even athletes wanting to get back to their sport and/or improve their performance, chiropractic treatment can provide lots benefits. In this blog, check out these three compelling reasons why you may want to contemplate seeing a chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre for your Toronto back pain and other musculoskeletal issues.

CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK PAIN

One of the top reasons people seek out Toronto chiropractic care is to manage back pain. According to a national cross-sectional survey available in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, 62% of patients reported seeking chiropractic care for back pain. Furthermore, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials reported that spinal manipulative therapy (a common technique utilized by chiropractors) was effective in reducing chronic low back pain for 92% and boosting mobility for 80% compared to other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence suggests that seeing a chiropractor can provide relief for those suffering from back pain. Bonus: Our Toronto chiropractic practice includes use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that has over 55 years of documented clinical experience, biomechanical research, and funded research (NIH, HRSA) behind it with well-known research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, Palmer, National University of Health Sciences, Auburn, etc. See the full list of case reports and research papers online!

CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN MEDICATIONS

Recently, there has been growing concern about the overuse and possible harm of opioid pain medications. However, research has demonstrated that chiropractic care may be an effective alternative for managing musculoskeletal pain without relying on these powerful drugs. A retrospective observational study published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies found that older Medicare beneficiaries with spinal pain who underwent chiropractic care were less likely to use prescription opioids compared to those who did not get chiropractic care. (2) This is an important finding, as it highlights the possible role of chiropractors like yours at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre in positively dealing with the opioid epidemic.

CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH CARE

Besides decreasing pain and dependence on medication, many patients describe a high degree of satisfaction with their chiropractic care. The same national cross-sectional survey mentioned earlier found that 87% of patients reported that they were satisfied or very satisfied with their general experience of chiropractic care. Another study distributed in the British Medical Journal demonstrated that chiropractic care was related to significantly higher satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care for low back pain. (3) This implies that not only does chiropractic care provide effective treatment, but it also promotes a positive patient experience. Bonus: Our Cox® Technic care has documented patient satisfaction in case reports and clinical studies! (4)
