Parma, Middleburg Heights Back Pain Treatment

Most of us suffer from back pain at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Baker Chiropractic Wellness Center and our talented staff see many back and neck pain cases in our Parma, Middleburg Heights office, and we've found that chiropractic care is a highly effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to prevent future episodes.

A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Parma, Middleburg Heights patients have reported: your Parma, Middleburg Heights chiropractor is the best first choice for an episode of back pain.

In this paper, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. Each person was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, a physiatrist (also known as a rehabilitation physician), or a physical therapist.

What the researchers found is that the men and women who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgeries.

Other studies have found the same results. A 2012 study reported that chiropractic patients had the best functional recovery and pain relief for chronic back pain.

Chiropractic works by restoring the natural, pain-free function of your spine. Baker Chiropractic Wellness Center and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.
