While some chiropractors claim to treat a multitude of conditions, the fact is, chiropractic manual therapy has been shown to be effective primarily for low back pain, neck pain and headaches. Other forms of physical medicine, which some chiropractors provide, can be quite effective for treating herniated discs (see Averting Disc Surgery). This is supported by scientific evidence.
Although science supports good outcomes with chiropractic and other forms of physical medicine procedures for back & neck pain; a specific diagnosis remains an enigma in most cases (85% of the time), even with 21st century technology. More contemporary assessment procedures are still evolving and improving outcomes.
This is helping health care providers to better group individuals into subcategories that will more likely respond favorably to more specific types of care; thus, better outcomes, less time and money wasted on care that may not be beneficial.Our goal is to assess your problem and then provide or direct you to the best form(s) of care and management that will likely benefit you the most; whether that be manual therapy, physical therapy, self care, medication, surgery or other.

When you consider the cost, the post surgical recovery time and possible side effects of surgery (death - permanent nerve damage - worsening pain and disability); the following options are well worth consideration!
As a matter of fact, the prognosis with our assessment in most cases, is determined in 3 to 6 visits.
However, these same patients are those most likely to have a high rate of clinical improvement with nonsurgical treatments.
There are two conservative (safe) non-surgical treatment procedures that have been around for 30+ years.

Low-Level Laser Therapy, sometimes referred to as Cold Laser Therapy, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies.
Laser therapy can be used any time a patient needs a non-invasive procedure for the control of pain, when conventional therapies have been ineffective, or when the acceleration of healing from injuries is desired.
Laser therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 30+ years, with no reported long-term or irreversible side effects.

The McKenzie Method is likely the the most valid and reliable method of assessing, diagnosing and effectively treating neck & back pain to date.
The information below is a short synopsis of some of the data that supports this remarkably effective method.
Ideally, researchers emphasize the need to identify and validate low back pain subgroups by means of anatomical tissue responsible for the pain: intervertebral disc, facet joint, sacroiliac joint, muscle or ligament, etc.
This is a real problem, and currently an insurmountable one, because there is no "gold standard" test at this time.
