Low back pain is very, very common. About 85 percent of the population will experience disabling low back pain at least once during their lives! That's almost all of us. The problem is so bad that, according to one researcher, at any given time 6.8% of the US adult population is suffering from an episode of back pain lasting more than two weeks. That's a lot of bad backs. The estimated cost of this problem in the US is over $50 billion a year.
For over a hundred years people with all kinds of health conditions have visited their doctors of chiropractic. Many have initially come for back pain, but then discovered so many other ways chiropractic spinal care can help them and their family. The goal of chiropractic is to free your body from subluxations, permitting realignment of your entire spinal column and releasing pressure on your nerves so your entire body may function at its optimum.
