Back Pain & Chiropractic

| Print |

E-mail

Both mild and severe back pain are common throughout the Dayton area. Patients of Dr. Merkle & Dr. Dyer often see great results with the use of Chiropractic care.

Two Common Causes: The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone (vertebra) are a common cause of back pain. The pain can be a sign that these interlocking "fingers" aren't moving right. The discs between spinal bones can be involved. Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.

Your Choices

We've helped many Dayton area residents with safe and natural chiropractic care. Other choices include:

Ignore it (Spinal problems worsen.)
Bed rest (Prolongs the problem.)
Therapy (Stresses malfunctioning joints.)
Medicine (Covers up the problem.)
Surgery (Drastic. Risky. Ineffective.)

Chiropractic Works

Specific chiropractic adjustments can help the spine right itself. By restoring the way your spine works, nerve involvement is reduced, the back pain is eased and only then can the body heal itself.
