Most of us suffer from back ache at some point in our lives. Researchers estimate that nearly 1 out of 3 adults deal with some kind of regular spinal pain. Dr. Dalton and our talented staff see many back pain cases in our Rochester Hills, MI office, and we've found that chiropractic care is an effective way to not only help you heal from back pain, it's also a great way to hold off future episodes.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Back Pain
A recent article from the University of Utah verifies what our Rochester Hills, MI patients have reported: your Rochester Hills, MI chiropractor is the best first choice for an event of back pain.
In this article, 747 participants were treated for low back pain. 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 discovered is that the subjects who first saw a chiropractor had fewer advanced imaging tests and fewer surgical procedures.
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. 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.
