Headaches Are a Common Reason Patients Seek Chiropractic Care.

An analysis of 20 days of visit data from 695 Danish chiropractors found that 12% of all new patient consultations involved headaches, with half of those cases presenting headache as the primary reason for seeking care. Previous studies suggest that chiropractic treatment can reduce the intensity, frequency, and duration of several headache types, including cervicogenic, tension-type, and migraine headaches.

Daily Walkers Less Likely to Develop Chronic Low Back Pain.

In a cohort of more than 11,000 adults, researchers found that participants who walked for more than 78 minutes per day had a significantly lower risk of developing chronic low back pain over a four-year period, particularly those who walked at a faster pace. Doctors of chiropractic often encourage patients with chronic low back pain to engage in regular physical activity, such as daily walks, to support recovery and help prevent recurrence.

Try Chiropractic First for Acute Low Back Pain!

A comparison of outcomes of nearly 50,000 patients with acute low back pain revealed that those initially treated with spinal manipulative therapy—the primary form of treatment provided by chiropractors—were significantly less likely to be prescribed an opioid, use opioids long term, and develop opioid use disorder in the following two years than patients first prescribed ibuprofen to manage their pain.

Neck and Shoulders May Contribute to Jaw Pain and Dysfunction.

According to a recent study, individuals with either neck or shoulder pain may have up to a six-fold increased risk for developing temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Because researchers did not observe such a link between TMD and other types of musculoskeletal pain, the findings suggest disorders of the neck and shoulder either share underlying mechanisms with TMD or may contribute to the condition.
