Chiropractic has been shown to be the most effective treatment for low back pain and slipped disk. In study, after study, chiropractic has proved to be faster, more economical, and more longe term effective than any other form of therapy including drugs or surgery.

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions on the planet

In my home country, America, thirty-one million people have low back pain at any given time. One half of all working Americans admit to having back symptoms each year. Statistics show that one third of all Americans over age 18 had a back problem in the past five years severe enough for them to seek professional help. Although we don’t have information on all countries, these statistics are probably the same in Vietnam and the world over.

Because back problems are this common it's probably going to happen to you too! Shouldn't you find out what to do about it before it happens rather than after? Why wait until you're hurting to learn about your treatment options?

When you're hurting, you may not give this important decision the time and attention it needs to make the best choices.

What do chiropractors do for low back pain?

In our clinic we use a combination of Chiropractic manipulative therapy (adjustment), Physiotherapy, and a therapy called Flexion Distraction using a motorized Leander table. Based on the latest research, our method of treatment is statistically the fastest and most effective method of conservative treatment for a wide variety of back injuries and chronic back pain syndromes.

Chiropractic Adjustment is one of several established forms of treatment used for back problems. Used primarily by Doctors of Chiropractic for the last 100years, manipulation has been largely ignored by most others in the health care community until recently. Now, with today's growing emphasis on treatment and cost effectiveness, chiropractic adjustments are receiving much more widespread attention.

In fact, after an extensive study of all currently available care for low back problems, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research--an American federal government research organization--recommended that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care first. And it recommended spinal manipulation as the ONLY safe and effective, DRUGLESS form of initial professional treatment for acute low back problems in adults!

Chiropractic adjustment, also frequently called the chiropractic manipulation, is the form of manipulation that has been most extensively used by Americans for the last decade. In America, satisfied chiropractic patients already know that Doctors of Chiropractic Medicine are uniquely trained and experienced in diagnosing back problems and are the doctors most skilled in using manipulation for the treatment of back pain and related disorders.

Physiotherapy Modalities such as micro current and ultrasound, heat traction and laser are used in our clinic as adjunctive treatments. These therapies compliment the chiropractic adjustments and speed healing.

We are excited and honored to be the first to bring this effective treatment, to the people of Vietnam.
