Research conducted recently by the New Zealand's Chiropractic Association has shown indications of how chiropractic care can be used to treat chronic pain conditions. This will provide relief to thousands of people suffering from pain due to various conditions. It also provides a safe alternative to pain pills, which have proved to be addictive in nature and is currently the reason for people finding alternate means to relieve themselves of pain.

Back pain is the most common complain among patients seeking chiropractic care. Previous treatment for acute back pain consisted of using analgesics, muscle relaxants and various other forms of medication along with spinal manipulative therapy. However, recent studies concluded a strong and affirmative relationship between small doses of over-the-counter analgesics and heart attacks. This has led to a great deal of concern among experts, due to the rising death toll among users of opioids.

A major review of the treatment courses have indicated that chiropractic care just might be the answer that people were looking for. There are no visible side-effects of the treatment like that of using analgesics. An American study that has been conducted previously of earlier studies revealed that chiropractic adjustments had the potential to relieve patients of their pain. On top of that, chiropractic care also did not have any side-effects like that of pain medications. The authors compared the pain relief from chiropractic care to anti-inflammatory drugs.

Chiropractic care has time and again shown its effectiveness in improving spinal functions and reduction of both acute and chronic back pain along with neck pain. However, the process that goes into the relief felt after the treatment session is not yet widely understood. The neurophysiological aspects of the treatment still eludes experts all around the world. It is known that spinal manipulations are the reason the pain relief process is induced. Chiropractic care provides improved functionality to the central nervous system including the functions related to motor control, reflex excitability, and sensory processing.
