In a nationwide survey by Consumer Reports, chiropractic care was rated the top treatment for back pain—outperforming all other therapies in both effectiveness and patient satisfaction. At American Chiropractic in Lake Havasu City, AZ, we’re proud to offer the same high-quality care that earned this five-star distinction from one of America’s most trusted consumer organizations.
What the Survey Revealed
The survey included 14,000 individuals who had suffered from lower back pain in the past year and had not undergone surgery. With over 80% of Americans experiencing back pain at some point, the impact is widespread. Many participants reported that the pain disrupted sleep, reduced physical activity, and interfered with daily routines—including work and relationships.
Half of respondents said their pain lasted a week or more, and 88% experienced recurring symptoms throughout the year. For many, it was a chronic issue with life-altering effects.
Why Chiropractic Stood Out
Chiropractic care received the highest marks in both pain relief and overall satisfaction. Nearly 60% of those surveyed said they were “highly satisfied” with their chiropractic treatment—more than any other method.
“For the treatment of back pain, few options are better than chiropractic,” said Glenn Manceaux, D.C., a former president of the American Chiropractic Association. “Spinal manipulation is an evidence-based, drug-free, and effective option for managing lower back pain and related musculoskeletal issues.”
Interestingly, many patients had tried five or six other treatments before finding relief with chiropractic. What made the difference? A personalized, non-invasive approach that combines spinal adjustments, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations.
