Most patients with back pain will require surgery.

Explanation:

In most cases, back pain will resolve on its own with treatment at home and over-the-counter medications. Some patients benefit from spinal traction, a physiotherapy technique that applies a longitudinal stretch to the reachable joints and soft tissues that is commonly used on the cervical, lumbar spine and thoracic spine. Surgery is not usually recommended.

Chiropractic is a hands-on, non-invasive approach to health care that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising form the muscles, nerves,and joints of the spine and extremities. Chiropractors use a combination of treatment methods to suit the needs of each individual patient. A chiropractic treatment plan may consist of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, modalities, acupuncture, and rehabilitative exercises. It is our goal to determine your cause of pain (not just the symptoms),reduce pain, restore proper function and biomechanics, and prevent the recurrence of pain. What is a chiropractic adjustment? Chiropractors regularly assess the motion within a particular joint, along the spine or extremity such as wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. A decrease in joint mobility often results in pain, muscle tightness, and reduced ranges of motion. A chiropractic adjustment is a non-invasive, gentle technique applied to a restricted joint in order to restore proper movement, alleviate pain, and relax the surrounding musculature.
