Chiropractic Care: Drug-Free Pain Management

Chiropractic care is a medication- and surgery-free form of treatment that can lead to natural healing, ultimately restoring mobility and reducing pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?

Chiropractic treatment is a hands-on method of health care that uses joint and spinal manipulation to increase function, reduce pain and treat a patient’s overall health and wellness. This treatment also restores mobility, allowing nerves to function freely without interference.

Numerous medical conditions can be treated with chiropractic adjustments: back pain, asthma, headaches, blood pressure, ear infections, neck pain, organ function, sciatica, arthritis, addiction, joint pain, mental health concerns, and scoliosis – just to name a few. Surgery may even be prevented with chiropractic intervention!

Eliminate pain, boost your immune system, and even improve sleep!

Did you know that when it comes to back and neck pain, chiropractic care can be more effective than massage, yoga, pilates, and even over-the-counter medications? Our experienced health care providers help you manage chronic pain, improve mobility/range of motion, and improve overall wellness.

Chiropractic treatment plans are based on an individual’s musculoskeletal problems and can offer an alternative treatment option for many people seeking relief. Common benefits of chiropractic services include the following:

  • Pain reduction
  • Improved joint mobility/function
  • Decreased degeneration of the joint and connective tissues
  • Decreased inflammation
  • Faster recovery
  • Improved circulation
  • Improved central nervous system
  • Strengthened immune system

  • Reduced prenatal discomfort
  • Decreased adverse effects of stress
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved cognitive ability

Meridian’s Process

Meridian’s chiropractors meet with you to discuss your problems, health history and complete a preliminary examination. Then a personalized treatment plan is created and treatment begins. No referral from a primary care physician is needed to begin chiropractic care.

Frequently Asked Chiropractic Questions

Most patients who seek chiropractic services suffer from spine or joint pain (ex. chronic low back pain, neck pain, etc.). However, other individuals with health issues (ex. migraines, asthma, etc.) can also benefit from chiropractic care. Often the sooner a patient seeks treatment, the sooner we can begin working on the issue and the better chance for improved results. Chiropractic adjustments are pain-free, but some soreness (similar to muscle aches after a workout) are a common side effect.

The number of sessions depends on your insurance carrier. However, Medicare and most insurances cover approximately 12 chiropractic care visits. Please check with your insurance to confirm what they will cover.

On average, most patients start noticing improvements within 3-6 visits. Depending on the type of pain being treated, some patients with chronic, persistent problems may need to come back on a regular basis to manage their pain and improve function so they can enjoy everyday activities.

To make an appointment for Meridian’s Chiropractic services, please call 330-797-0074 and ask for Chiropractic or Acupuncture Services.

Chiropractic Care as an Alternative Treatment

Chiropractic’s joint and spinal manipulation may be exactly what you’ve been searching for, whether you’re seeking pain treatment or simply a medication-free alternative to a variety of health-related issues.

Remember, only a licensed chiropractor – a doctor of chiropractic (DC) – should be conducting adjustments. Our chiropractors may also suggest additional therapies to coincide with chiropractic treatment for medication-free pain relief (including heat/ice, massage, stretches, exercises, etc.).
