How Long Does Back Pain Last?

Does it seem like you’ve suffered with lower back pain, leg pain, neck pain, and/or arm pain ... for eternity? Do you wonder why it continues to bother you for so long? You're not alone! But McHenry back pain sufferers do find relief with our chiropractic care at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic.

There is an old saying that if you do nothing for your lower back pain or neck pain it will be gone in 6 weeks. Ever heard that? It’s just not true. The truth is that 33% of patients report back pain relief in the first 3 months, but 65% still report pain at one year after onset. A subgroup analysis of those patients still reporting pain after 1 year shows that 71% still report pain in studies that considered a total absence of pain as a criterion for recovery versus 57% for studies that used a less rigid definition of pain relief. (1) But not patients who seek help from OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. Our outcomes are usually better!

So if your back pain is still giving you trouble, it’s time to contact OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. Our McHenry chiropractic treatment plan is reliable and relieving. Our goal is at least 50% relief of pain in 30 days, and many of our patients find such relief in one or two visits! We will help with home care tips to help you control your back pain and even prevent its recurrence. It's time to get control of your McHenry back pain. Contact us today!
