Nearly 90% of people that have used chiropractic treatment said it helped a lot, according to a new report in the May 2009 Consumer Reports Magazine.
About 80% of all adult Americans have at some point been bothered by some form of back pain. In a new Consumer Reports survey over 14,000 acknowledged some form of back pain over the last year. More than half of these people complained the pain severely limited their daily routine for a week or longer. Many had explained that the pain interfered with sleep, sex and their ability to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
The respondents average trying five to six different forms of treatment. Chiropractic treatment was considered the most successful form of treatment according to this survey. Physical therapy and massage were also found to be helpful.
“Our patients have always seemed to respond to our team approach of chiropractic, medicine, physical therapy and massage therapy,” explained Dr. Steven Read, Clinic Director of Ortega Chiropractic and Medical Rehab in Jacksonville, Florida. “Our patients get the best of all worlds in our clinic,” he added. “We have launched a new website FreeExamJacksonville.com to offer everyone in the Jacksonville area a way to find out if chiropractic treatment can help them for free,” said Dr. Read.
The new site www.FreeExamJacksonville.com allows a person to download a FREE certificate entitling them to a no-cost, no-obligation initial chiropractic consultation, examination and x-rays.
Ortega Chiropractic and Medical Rehab was established in 2001 on Jacksonville’s Westside near the main gate of NAS Jax. It treats patients from all over Jacksonville including Argyle, Oak Leaf, Riverside, Orange Park and the Westside.
Dr. Read graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988. He has lived and practiced in the Jacksonville area for over 20 years. As the clinic treats many patients that have been injured in automobile accidents, he has had numerous opportunities to testify as an expert witness in trials.
Dr. Read can be reached at his clinic by calling 904-425-4545 or emailing the clinic at jd@ortegachiropractic.com.
It has been awhile……
May 13, 2009
It has been a long time since I have blogged here. I have written some blogs for other sites though.
We recently had a patient that came to us following an automobile accident. We weren’t their first choice. They called an 800 number referral line and was referred to an attorney in Miami. That’s right Miami.
In addition they weren’t happy with the medical treatment they were receiving. The moral to this brief story is:
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, why not call a local number? The 800 numbers aren’t answered here and there is a good chance you get referred to a South Florida attorney.
Jacksonville has some very good lawyers and health care providers. IF you have any questions, you can always call our office at 425-4545 (local number) or check out our websites..www.OrtegaChiropractic.com or www.FreeExamJacksonville.com.
Yours in Health,
Steve
