Scientific Proof:  
Chiropractic THE BEST for
Low Back Pain
Multiple Lumbar Disc
Herniations
The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological
Therapeutics - 1993
This is the case of a 15-year-
old high school athlete with
acute low back pain that began
after weightlifting in
preparation for a football
game.  MRI demonstrated disc
herniations of the lumbar
area.  Chiropractic care
resulted in long term
resolution of the symptoms.  
Patient has returned to playing
football.

Correction of Multiple
Herniated Lumbar Disc
JCCR - 1993
A 39-year-old patient
presented with severe pain in
his lower back, radiating into
the buttocks, the thigh and
left calf and foot.  A medical
diagnosis of herniated nucleus
pulposus at L4-5 and L5-S1 was
confirmed by MRI.  Palliative
medications were administered
and rapid surgical procedures
were recommended.  
Chiropractic adjustments were
commenced instead.  After 4
weeks of care, he showed a
50% improvement and was not
using medications.  After six
months of care, MRI indicated
herniation was no longer
present.

Chiropractic Management of
Low Back Pain
The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological
Therapeutics -1998
This is a case study of a 21-
year-old female with a history
since childhood of grand mal
and petit mal seizures
(epilepsy) occurring every 3
hours.  Examination revealed
subluxation at L5-S1, C6-7 and
C3-4, retrolisthesis at L5,
hypolordosis of the cervical
spine (loss of normal neck
curve) and hyperextension at
C6-7.  Chiropractic care was
administered and, at an 18-
month follow up, “the patient
reported her low back
complaints had resolved and her
seizures had decreased” (period
between seizures as great as 2
months).

The Efficacy of Manual
Treatment in Low Back Pain
The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological
Therapeutics - 1986
This study reported that
“Spinal adjustments
outperform conventional care
in the most costly low back
patients.  The percentage of
chiropractic patients who were
very satisfied with the care
they received for low back pain
was triple that for patients of
family physicians and general
practitioners.”

“On the evidence, particularly
the most scientifically valid
clinical studies, spinal
adjustments applied by
chiropractors are shown to be
more effective that
alternative treatments for low
back pain.  

The commission has found it
established beyond any
reasonable doubt that
chiropractors have a more
thorough training in spinal
mechanics and the nervous
system than any other health
professional.  It would
therefore be astonishing to
contemplate that a
chiropractor, in those areas of
expertise, should be subject to
the directions of a medical
practitioner who is largely
ignorant of the spine and
nervous system simply because
he has had no training in them.”

“The benefit of chiropractic
treatment became more evident
throughout the follow up
period… Chiropractic was
particularly effective in those
with fairly intractable pain;
that is, those with a history of
severe pain and loss of normal
function.”
