How to Treat Back Pain: Ask Dr. Fred Didomenico

Back pain is the 2nd most common cause of doctor's visits, 2nd to the common cold.

8 out of 10 Americans have back pain. 6 million visits to doctor's offices for back pain every day. 75% of people with back pain will have recurrance. It is a pandemic in this country and around the world.

The number 1 cause of back pain is loss or weakening of the normal spinal structure which has been proven to cause chronic pain, disc injury and degeneration,

disability, pshychosocial problems and disease.

The loss of normal curves and weakened posture can be related to the chronic and prolonged forward flexed postures in the American technologically advancing lifestyle, complicated by sedentary habits.

The most effective and advanced treatment available is the spinal structural corrective techniques in chiropractic since they directly strengthen weakened spinal

structure, the most common cause of back pain, as well as strengthen supporting muscles.

Traditional medical care and physical therapy has not proven to be effective as a whole in the correction of chronic back pain. Yoga, pilates, etc. may add strength and flexibility to the spine via addressing the supportive spinal musculature, but may not correct spinal structure. There are very specific spinal rehabilitative systems that achieve predictible spinal correction and disc regeneration.

Dr. Fred Didomenico has been a chiropractor for 22 years, specializing in structural coorection of the spine for optimal health and wellness.
