Research conducted throughout the world shows that chiropractic treatment for lower back pain is both safe and effective. The following are excerpts from a few of the more recent studies:

"...for the management of low-back pain, chiropractic care is the most effective treatment, and it should be fully integrated into the government's health care system." --The Manga Report, 1993.

"Chiropractic treatment was more effective than hospital outpatient management, mainly for patients with chronic or severe back pain." --British Medical Journal, 1990. British Medical Research Council Study.

"...spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low-back pain." --The Manga Report, 1993.

"...injured workers ... diagnosed with low-back pain returned to work much sooner when treated by chiropractors than by physicians." --The Manga Report, 1993.

"Two and three years after patients with back pain were treated by chiropractors, they experienced far less pain than those who were treated by medical doctors." --British Medical Journal, 1990.

"Low Back Pain of Mechanical Origin: Randomized Comparison of Chiropractic and Hospital Outpatient Treatment." "...one of the unexpected findings ...looks as though the treatment that the chiropractors give does something that results in a very long-term benefit." --T. W. Meade, M.D.
