Dr. Smith has helped many people in Daphne, AL recover from back pain, and a 2014 study reinforces what we've seen in our practice: researchers conducted a study of 148 people with MRI-confirmed lumbar disc herniation causing back pain, sciatica, and radiating leg symptoms. The majority of patients (79) suffered from chronic lumbar disc herniation lasting longer than three months. Thirty seven patients had disc herniations for less than a month at the start of the study.
Each of the test subjects received chiropractic care based upon the needs of each patient. After fourteen days, 70% of the participants had significant progress in pain and disability; and at three months, 90% had substantial improvement. Even more important, the improvement was retained by patients, with over 80% of patients reporting improvement after one year.
If you reside in Daphne, AL, you need to know that you do not have to suffer with disc herniations or any other type of low back pain. Dr. Smith is here for you. To see if we can help you, give our office a call at (251) 621-2224 today for an appointment or consultation.
