Latest research backs chiropractic : S Haldeman 25/02/10
over 90% of patients who seek chiropractic care have back pain, neck pain or headache for which there is high and moderate quality positive scientific evidence that manipulation, mobilization and massage is effective.
yes over 90%. Science strongly backs the majority of chiropractic care.
Also the report notes that between 50 and 80% of all treatments prescribed by medical physicians and specialists have limited scientific support. Thats right… only 20 – 50% of all treatments from medical physicians and specialists can be scientifically validated.
The Spine Journal on Evidence Informed Management of Chronic Low Back Pain listed over 200 treatments currently offered patients with low back pain, most of which are offered by medical physicians. Of these less than 10% have a reasonable body of support based on high quality clinical trials. The greatest research support was for therapies commonly used by chiropractors including the manual therapies, education and exercise.
Glasgow Chiropractic : supported by science.
In these times where all forms of medicine are being asked to provide evidence based treatments, the core of what chiropractors treat ie 90% has strong scientific support which is great to know.
The issues of safety have also be clarified as spinal manipulation has been shown to be safe and effective.
The best thing that could happen for patients in the UK is evidence based treatment being made readily available, not just for back pain but for all forms of treatment.
That would be a big step for all professions.
As more people understand the research in terms of effectiveness and safety then chiropractic is more likely to flourish.
Look at the research and go with the science.
The next step is for the chiropractic profession to take a lead role in further research and to add to this list. Its now established that research shows chiropractic is safe and effective for many conditions such as back pain neck pain headache migraine whiplash and frozen shoulder. This is the basis of what chiropractors do ie over 90% of people present with back pain neck pain and headache which guarantees that chiropractic is well supported and can take a lead role in further research.
Chiropractic will flourish as more evidence comes forward supporting its effectiveness in other areas as well.
Its great that chiropractic has taken such a strong leading role to produce evidence based care for over 90% of people seeking chiropractic care.

Richard Phelps Doctor of Chiropractic :
What brought a Chiropractor from the USA to Falkirk, Scotland ? Since Ive arrived in Falkirk, I get asked this question all the time. I also get asked “why would you want to be a chiropractor ?” and the answer has a lot to do with my personal journey after my mother had a serious car accident when I was 11 years old.
Here is my story :
When I was 11 years old, my mother was involved in a near-fatal car accident. The Emergency Medical Service on the scene thought she was dead and were just about to give up on the CPR. Through some miracle, she survived. The next two weeks were spent with the medical profession doing a fantastic job piecing her back together. I had my mother back, or so I thought. She spent the next two years traveling from Boston to Washington, DC looking for the cause of her inability to function normally. She was alive, but she was in so much pain her quality of life dropped to near nothing. She had constant back pain, neck pain, and headaches that were so bad she described migraines as “a walk in the park.” It wasn’t until she saw a chiropractor that did some “non-traditional” adjustments or manipulations that she started to see relief. I saw the difference it made to my mother and my family. That’s when I decided to be a chiropractor. When I saw the difference I could make in other people’s lives by getting them out of pain. Frankly, I chose chiropractic because it was the only thing that worked to get my mom out of pain.
Now, why am I now a chiropractor Falkirk ? That is because of my post graduate training that I have received. A large group of chiropractors in Scotland are getting great success using a specific technique that Im trained in so it was a great opportunity to join this wonderful team so we can share new ideas and strategies that continue to improve our patient care. Glasgow Chiropractic Falkirk has given me a great opprtunity to share what I know and to help a very large number of people and Im living in the town with my wife and we have been made to feel very welcome.
My mission is to fix people’s bodies and teach them about the healing process and how they can help themselves. People are often doing things to mess themselves up and we train them with simple things on sitting, sleeping and standing which helps them to have better posture which is a key to helping your self heal faster. That is why I moved across “the pond” – to serve people the best structural chiropractic care I can, helping them get out of pain.
