Would You Rather Have a Back Problem OR a Brain Problem?

When you think or hear the word "Chiropractic" or "Chiropractor" if you are like the overwhelming majority of the population, you probably directly associate those words with back or neck pain. Chiropractic has proven itself time and time again with even the latest from the American College of Physicians publishing in their "2017 Low back pain treatment guidelines" that a non-drug approach should be taken by clinicians and patients to include (Chiropractic) spinal manipulation, massage, acupuncture and other physical modalities. 

With 8 out of 10 Americans facing back troubles at least once in their lives, and 54% of back pain caused by "desk work," shouldn't we be focusing in to what is truly going on with back problems? $50 Billion is spent directly on the treatment of low back pain annually-- $100 billion in indirect costs associated with lowered productivity, insurance premium increases, legal fees, and other costs to the community and families affected.

When you have a "back problem"  this is a very serious condition! Problems with the spine are proving to be direct assaults to our health, financial freedom, and relationships.
