Chiropractic's Forte of Non-Surgical Treatment of Back Pain and Sleep Called for Back Pain Relief
CHIROPRACTIC'S MOMENT: RESEARCH CALLS FOR NON-SURGICAL CARE
Chiropractic care welcomes its moment—positioned well to meet just what today's medical literature is calling for back pain treatment. Two pivotal studies published this month report that the healthcare world is finally acknowledging what chiropractors have been doing all along. The World Health Organization's groundbreaking guidelines, listed by Briggs and colleagues in Global Health Research & Policy, now explicitly call for non-surgical management as the primary approach to chronic low back pain—positioning Manahawkin chiropractic care squarely at the middle of evidence-based treatment. (1) Meanwhile, research by Mathieu and his team in Scientific Reports provides convincing evidence that chiropractors have exceptional diagnostic skills, achieving 74.7% overall diagnostic agreement with neurosurgeons and an even more remarkable 82.0% management agreement. The study reveals that chiropractors show superior clinical precision in identifying specific conditions rather than evading specificity and using vague diagnoses, and most importantly, they excel at triaging patients—a vital skill that can accelerate treatment for non-surgical cases while decreasing unnecessary surgical consultation waiting lists. (2)This convergence isn't coincidental—it's the natural result of chiropractic care being well positioned to give exactly what modern medicine is now recognizing top patient care. Recent research has made it clear that non-surgical care has a place, and chiropractic stands ready as a non-surgical solution the healthcare system has been looking for. Undoubtedly, your Manahawkin chiropractor is here for you to meet this challenge with Cox® Technic!
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Sleep!

While poor sleep can aggravate pain, the flip side is equally true—better sleep can significantly reduce your pain levels and help you feel more functional in daily life. The research demonstrates that patients who sleep well experience less pain, move more easily, and feel better emotionally. (3) This discovery opens up a potent new strategy for your healing: by improving your sleep habits along with your chiropractic care here at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, you're tackling pain from two directions instead of one.
