McHenrys chiropractic Relieves Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic lower back pain - pain that has been with you for a long time - puts a crimp in the lifestyle of young and old alike. The average age for back surgery in men is 37.9 years of age and in women 45 years. That's young! Leg pain due to a back condition is a more prevalent factor for the surgery.

But back pain plagues McHenry residents who haven't had back surgery, too. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is here for any lower back pain sufferer - chronic, post-surgical or acute - seeking relief.
