CHIROPRACTIC'S MOMENT: RESEARCH CALLS FOR NON-SURGICAL CARE
Chiropractic care welcomes its moment—positioned well to meet exactly what today's medical literature is described for back pain care. Two pivotal studies released this month report that the healthcare world is finally acknowledging what chiropractors have been doing all along. The World Health Organization's novel guidelines, listed by Briggs and colleagues in Global Health Research & Policy, now explicitly call for non-surgical management as the primary approach to chronic low back pain—positioning Tonawanda chiropractic care right at the center of evidence-based treatment. (1) Meanwhile, research by Mathieu and his team in Scientific Reports delivers convincing evidence that chiropractors possess exceptional diagnostic skills, achieving 74.7% overall diagnostic agreement with neurosurgeons and an even more remarkable 82.0% management agreement. The study reveals that chiropractors show superior clinical precision in distinguishing specific conditions rather than evading specificity and using vague diagnoses, and most predominantly, they excel at triaging patients—a vital skill that can accelerate treatment for non-surgical cases while decreasing unnecessary surgical consultation waiting lists. (2)This convergence isn't coincidental—it's the natural outcome of chiropractic care being ideally positioned to do exactly what modern medicine is now recognizing optimal patient care. Recent research has made it clear that non-surgical care has a place, and chiropractic stands ready as a non-surgical solution the healthcare system has been seeking.

While poor sleep can worsen pain, the flip side is just as true—better sleep can considerably lessen your pain levels and help you feel more functional in daily life. The research shows that patients who sleep well feel less pain, move more freely, and feel better emotionally.
