Over 30 million Americans deal with chronic back pain every year, and Scottsdale chiropractors see their fair share of it. The US total of 30 million equates to about 10% of the US population. Arizona has approximately 6,000,000 people in Maricopa County and that means over half a million people are dealing with back pain just in the valley alone!

What are the best treatment options for chronic back pain? Back pain treatment has many options both traditional and alternative. The initial treatment involves over-the-counter pain medications including Tylenol and anti-inflammatory medication. When taken according to manufacturers recommendations the medication may help tremendously allowing patients to function and play with their kids work. Along with these medications if a patient has an acute flare up then short term narcotics may help a lot.

Treatment with a Scottsdale chiropractor can help tremendously both in an acute situation as well as a chronic one. The chiropractor may perform spinal manipulations along with spinal decompression therapy, and possibly physical rehab and TENS Units. Including acupuncture along with massage treatment can amplify the excellent results as there is a ton of research backing up their use. Physical therapy may also help  as well.

Treatment with an Arizona pain management doctor with various types of injections such as facet blocks, epidural injections, medial branch blocks, or radiofrequency ablations may relieve back pain for months.
