Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation Shown to Be Effective for Low Back Pain in Rochester Hills
Most of us suffer from back ache at some point in our lives. Experts estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal discomfort. Dr. Dalton and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Rochester Hills office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you recover from back pain, it's also a great way to avoid future problems.
Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Chronic Back Discomfort
A recent paper from the University of Utah verifies what our Rochester Hills patients have experienced: your Rochester Hills chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back pain.
In this paper, 747 participants were treated for low back problem. Each patient was assessed based on the first person they sought treatment with, whether it was a primary care physician, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist.
What the researchers found is that the individuals who first saw a chiropractor had less advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.
Other papers 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. Dr. Dalton and our team help your body heal with gentle chiropractic adjustments that don't use drugs or risky surgical procedures.

Chiropractors, often considered alternative or complementary medicine practitioners, are primary care doctors who focus on good health through proper nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle factors. The chiropractic philosophy is based on the idea that when nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised (known as a subluxation), the affected individual might experience pain, disability and an overall decrease in the quality of life.
