Medical Students Warm to Chiropractic

Realistic Expectations of Chronic Low Back Pain Patients
Patients with chronic low back pain come to embrace their role in their condition(s). They become aware and accept that they may experience some pain and that they have some control over it. This empowers back pain patients to continue self-care between, during and after physician care visits. (5) This is the goal of Sitka chiropractic care: that you understand your condition and how you can manage it.
