Curious about how chiropractic care actually works? At ChiroSource Wellness, we believe in providing care that’s not just effective—but backed by science. Here’s what the research shows about chiropractic care and its ability to help with a variety of injuries.
Chiropractic Care and Musculoskeletal Injuries
Back Pain: Multiple studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), show spinal manipulation is effective for acute and chronic low back pain. Patients often experience reduced pain and improved function compared to standard medical care.
Neck Pain: Research in The Lancet and Annals of Internal Medicine supports chiropractic adjustments for neck pain, demonstrating significant improvements in pain and mobility.
Headaches: The American Chiropractic Association cites evidence that spinal manipulation can help tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck).
Sports Injuries and Recovery
Faster Healing: Chiropractic care helps athletes recover from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Performance: Studies show that regular chiropractic care can enhance range of motion, flexibility, and even reaction time—important for injury prevention and athletic performance.
Whiplash and Auto Accident Injuries
Whiplash: Clinical trials indicate that early chiropractic intervention after a car accident can reduce the risk of chronic pain and disability. Gentle adjustments and soft tissue therapy help restore normal movement and reduce inflammation.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Techniques like IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization), cupping, and therapeutic exercises are supported by research for improving recovery from muscle and ligament injuries.
Why Chiropractic Care Works
Restores Alignment: Adjustments correct joint dysfunction, reducing pressure on nerves and muscles.
Reduces Inflammation: Manipulation and soft tissue therapies have been shown to decrease inflammatory markers and promote circulation.
Encourages Natural Healing: Chiropractic care supports your body’s ability to heal itself—without drugs or surgery.
The Bottom Line
Chiropractic care is a proven, science-backed option for managing pain and speeding up recovery from a wide range of injuries. At ChiroSource Wellness, we combine evidence-based techniques with personalized care to get you back to feeling your best.
