Therapies Were The Top-rated Treatments
FROM: Consumer Reports ~ May
2009 plus this second review.
April 10, 2009 — A study in the May issue of Consumer Reports shows that
hands-on therapies were tops among treatments for relief of back pain. The
study, which surveyed more than 14,000 consumers, was conducted by the
Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center.
According to the report, the survey respondents tried a variety of different
treatments and rated the treatments on how helpful and satisfied they were
with the results. The report concluded that hands-on therapies were the
top-rated.
The report states that, “eighty-eight percent of those who tried chiropractic manipulation
said it helped a lot, and 59 percent were „completely‟ or „very‟ satisfied with their
chiropractor.”

From their article:
2. About 80 percent of U.S. adults have at some point been bothered by back pain. The
Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center recently surveyed more than 14,000
subscribers who had lower-back pain in the past year but had never had back surgery.
More than half said pain severely limited their daily routine for a week or
longer, and 88 percent said it recurred through the year. Many said the pain
interfered with sleep, sex, and efforts to maintain a healthy weight. Back pain can be
tough to treat. Most of our respondents tried five or six different treatments. They rated
the helpfulness of the treatments tried and their satisfaction with the health-care
professionals visited.
Hands-on therapies were among the top-rated. Fifty-eight percent of those who tried chiropractic
manipulation said it helped a lot, and 59 percent were "completely" or "very" satisfied with their
chiropractor. Massage and physical therapy were close runners-up.
Many of those who tried spinal injections found them to be very helpful, although the techniques
their doctors used varied. Most respondents had used some type of medication. Forty-five
percent of those who took prescription drugs said they helped a lot, double the percentage of
those who said they were helped by over-the-counter medications.
