Dr. Oz tells how chiropractors can help back pain.

March 7, 2011

Mehmet Oz, M.D., better known as Dr. Oz on television told show viewers Thursday that licensed chiropractors can help 80 percent of people with back pain.

He said twenty-two million Americans make “chiropractic” visits each year for spinal manipulations to have their backs adjusted. Chiropractic is a Greek word meaning done by hand.

If your spine gets out of alignment, this causes pressure on the discs and nerves. That pressure results in back pain.

To prevent back pain, strengthen your core muscles. This helps your back muscles function without as much pressure on the spine.

Ask your chiropractor what exercises would be best for you so you don’t hurt your spine, head or neck muscles.

For more information about back pain, visit licensed chiropractor Robert Ferguson, D.C. or call (317) 876-7826.
