Doylestown chiropractor shares video of chiropractic adjustment on the Dr. Oz show.
Chiropractic continues to get main stream exposure! On the March 3, 2011 of the Dr. Oz show, Dr. Oz discussed the topic of chiropractic. The segment focused on the findings in a new Cochrane study which showed that Chiropractic manipulation was just as effective for treating lower back pain as traditional treatment, such as pain medication.
Anyone who has ever suffered a serious back injury knows about the frustration, the debilitating pain, and the complete, grinding halt it can put to your life. Dr. Mehmet Oz explained that 80% of Americans experience back pain and many could benefit from visiting a chiropractor and receiving chiropractic adjustments. He explained how the spine can get out of alignment and cause pressure on the discs and nerves, which in turn, causes pain. Dr. Oz said that even simple things such as sleeping wrong or getting groceries out of the car can force the spine out of alignment. He also said that a misaligned spine can result in disc problems which can cause a lot of pain and takes quite a while to heal.
Dr. Oz had Dr Steven Shoshany, a chiropractor, on the show who proceeded to give an audience member a chiropractic adjustment. After the adjustment was given, the doctor explained to Dr. Oz and the audience the philosophy of chiropractic and how realignment of the spine reduces interference to the nervous system and lets the body heal itself. Dr. Steve also explained that pain medications only mask the symptoms, but do not treat the underlying cause of back pain.
Dr. Oz has praised the benefits of chiropractic treatment before on previous shows. The majority of Doylestown area chiropractic offices offer spinal and joint adjustments, massage, electrical stimulation, heat, cold, and life style modification programs to reduce patients pain.
At my office, Azzatori Chiropractic-Doylestown, we sometimes find that spinal misalignments or a herniated disc are the cause of the back problem, so we utilize a non-surgical, drugless approach to our treatment plans.
