Nearly 90% of Patients Satisfied with Chiropractic Treatment

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 http://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.
