These scientific articles, backed by research and evidence, pointed out that painful back conditions presented as recurring episodes.

In other words, patients would have continued on numerous occasions when their back ached with intervals of less or no pain.

It was found that over time the recurrences of painful episodes got worse and became a major problem for the individual and society.The unsuccessful treatment of many health professionals included the use of medications, rest recommendations, exercise programs, and ultimately surgery.

Evidence showed that while there may be short-term symptom relief with these regimens, the underlying problem remains for everyone involved.Today, this ongoing problem has contributed to the United States having an opioid epidemic.

The aforementioned treatment did nothing to correct the biomechanical problem.

However, studies revealed an underutilized profession that had successfully treated low back pain for more than 100 years.The profession of chiropractic focuses on the evaluation and treatment of the cause of most low back pain.
