ACA Applauds New Low Back Pain Guidelines Advocating Non-Drug Treatments
ACA has issued a news release applauding new low back pain treatment guidelines by the American College of Physicians (ACP) that recommend first using non-invasive, non-drug treatments before resorting to drug therapies. The guidelines, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, cite heat therapy, massage, acupuncture and spinal manipulation as possible options for non-invasive, non-drug therapies. Read ACA’s news release. Watch an ACP video on the guidelines.

ACA Encourages Patients to Consider Chiropractic Before NSAIDs for Back Pain
Just weeks before the new ACP guidelines on low back pain were released, a research reviewin Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases found that common over-the-counter and prescription pain medications have limited effectiveness for back pain and raise the risk of side effects. In response to this review, ACA also issued a news release to the national media encouraging people suffering from back pain to consider first trying chiropractic services and other non-drug therapies.
