On Oprah, in October 2009, Dr. Oz recommended chiropractic care as a treatment for low back pain. He also mentioned physical therapy, stress relief, and surgery as a last resort. He mentions that chiropractors use spinal manipulation, and that the research is positive for it. However, did you know that most chiropractors also prescribe back and core stabilization exercises and stretches, give lifestyle and dietary recommendations to lower stress, and routinely co-manage patients with medical doctors?
For example, I have extensive training in health & fitness, exercise prescription. Because I specialize in treating the spine, I know just about every spinal strengthening and stabilization exercise, stretch and technique currently being used in physical medicine. I routinely search PubMed for the latest research in physical medicine, and if it makes sense, I incorporate the information from the study into my practice.
