Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Lach and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Corvallis office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to avoid future problems.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent paper from the University of Utah verifies what our Corvallis patients have reported: your Corvallis chiropractor is the best first option for an episode of back pain.
In this study, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each patient was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.
What the authors discovered is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.
Other papers have found the same results. A 2012 study reported that chiropractic patients had the best functional recovery and pain relief for chronic back pain.
Chiropractic works by restoring the natural, pain-free function of your spine. Dr. Lach and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.

Our practice focuses on the treatment of AUTO INJURIES, HERNIATED & BULGING DISCS of the Neck and Low Back. These conditions can result in Chronic Low Back & Neck Pain, Sciatica, Numbness & Tingling and Headaches. It is very important after an auto injury to be evaluated for spinal misalignment and dysfunction, muscle damage and ligament damage. If not treated properly and on a timely basis, you may be left with a lifetime of pain and disability.
