Low back pain

More women than men suffer from all causes of low back pain. Low back pain is very common and the incidence increases with age. By the 6th decade 45 % of the US population develops back pain. The majority of cases are related to musculoskeletal issues and increased doctor office visits. Not all low back pain responds to medication and/ or injections. NIH research has found that Osteopathic manipulative treatment is as effective as injection, PT, medication. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is whole body treatment from head to toe, where ever care is needed. At Brookmead Medical Associates-Osteopathic our average treatment for low back pain is 4-5 treatments. This can vary based on the type of LBP and the length of time one has been suffering.
