Scientific Research
The scientific evidence has been clear for a long time as to the effectiveness of chiropractic care for several ACUTE musculoskeletal problems. Newer scientific research has shown that chiropractic spinal manipulations are effective and safe for CHRONIC neck pain and chronic low back pain. When comparing chiropractic manipulation to medical care of bed rest, analgesics and massage, chiropractic care was found to be superior. Other studies showed chiropractic care was superior to needle acupuncture (with or without electricity), and medication (NSAIDS- tenoxican with rantidine).
