Report shows that 90 percent of people with herniated discs get better with chiropractic. If you live in O'Fallon, IL and have been diagnosed with a herniated disc or chronic low back pain, call Dr. Komeshak today at (618) 624-4242 for an appointment.

Dr. Komeshak has helped many people in O'Fallon, IL recover from back pain, and a 2014 study confirms what we've seen in our practice: the authors performed a study of 148 patients with MRI-confirmed lumbar disc herniation causing back pain, sciatica, and radiating leg symptoms. Many patients (79) dealt with from chronic lumbar disc herniation lasting more than three months. Thirty seven subjects had disc herniations for less than a month at the start of the study.

All of the test subjects received chiropractic care based upon the needs of each patient. After two weeks, 70% of the participants had significant progress in pain and disability; and at three months, 90% had substantial improvement. Even better, the progress was retained by patients, with over 80% of patients reporting improvement after one year.

If you reside in O'Fallon, IL, you need to know that you don't have to suffer with disc herniations or any other type of low back pain. Dr. Komeshak is here for you. To see if we can help you, give our office a call at (618) 624-4242 today for an appointment or consultation.
