This situation has not improved over time. The unendorsed care may contribute to the high costs of managing LBP, and some aspects of the care provided carry a higher risk of adverse effects.”

This is quite alarming considering how many people present every year to their GP hoping to get some good advice.  At our office we recommend procedures with the latest research and guidelines in mind.  We can refer you to other specialists if need be.  Call your San Francisco Chiropractor to find out about the most proven treatment for lower back pain
