Did you feel the earth shake? Are pigs flying?
After tens of thousands of studies saying the most effective treatment for back pain is chiropractic care, the AMA finally is recommending it.
In a recent press release, the Journal of the American Medical Association is YES (wait for it) recommending chiropractic care.
Are they way behind the research – yes.
Are they ridiculously slow and hesitant – yes.
However this is a huge step and will hopefully encourage more family and internal medicine docs to refer to chiropractors rather than relying on narcotics, anti-inflammatories and surgery.
