Lasting Back Pain Relief Without Medication or Surgery
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, and it’s easy to understand why. Studies suggest that up to 80% of adults will experience significant back pain at some point in their lives. It’s more prevalent in people over 30, tends to affect women more than men, and is especially common among those who work in physically demanding fields like construction or manual labor. It can hit suddenly after an awkward lift or a long drive, or creep up gradually over months of sitting at a desk. Either way, the impact on your daily life is real and worth addressing.
At Better Health Solutions in Scottsdale, Dr. Abbas Khayami takes a hands-on, whole-body approach to understanding why you’re in pain and what will actually help. Rather than relying on medication to mask symptoms, chiropractic care works to address the underlying cause so you can get back to the things you enjoy.

Chiropractic care is one of the most well-researched non-surgical options available for back pain. It works by identifying and correcting spinal misalignments that can put pressure on nerves, restrict joint movement, and trigger the muscle tension and inflammation that cause pain.
At our Scottsdale office, adjustments are just one part of a broader treatment approach. Depending on your condition, Dr. Khayami may incorporate soft-tissue work, therapeutic stretching, manual traction, or rehabilitative exercises to support your recovery and reduce the likelihood of pain returning.
The goal is lasting improvement in how your spine functions and how you feel day to day.
Types of Back Injuries
Back problems can range from mild muscle strains to structural conditions that affect how the spine functions over time. Dr. Khayami treats a wide range of back injuries and conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs: When the soft tissue between vertebrae shifts out of place and presses on nearby nerves, it can cause sharp, radiating pain that travels well beyond the spine itself.
- Sprains and strains: Damage to the ligaments or muscles that support the spine, often from a sudden, awkward movement or repetitive overuse over time.
- Sciatica: Pain, tingling, or numbness that runs from the lower back through the hip and down the leg, typically caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
- Spinal stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal that places pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, often causing pain that worsens with prolonged standing or walking.
- Degenerative disc disease and arthritis: Natural wear on the spinal discs and joints over time that can become a source of chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine that may cause persistent discomfort, postural imbalances, or limited range of motion.
- Osteoporosis and compression fractures: Weakening of the vertebrae that can lead to fractures, often causing sudden and significant pain in the mid or lower back.
- Poor posture: A common but often overlooked contributor to both acute flare-ups and long-term back problems, particularly for those who spend most of the day seated.

Back pain can also be linked to kidney issues or infections rather than a spinal cause, which is why a proper evaluation is always the right starting point.

How Dr. Khayami Treats Back Pain
No two patients present the same way, which is why treatment at Better Health Solutions is personalized from the beginning. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Khayami will build a care plan around your specific condition, goals, and health history.
- Spinal Manipulation: Precise, controlled movements are applied to spinal joints to restore proper alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and improve range of motion. This is the foundation of chiropractic care and has a strong evidence base for treating both acute and chronic back pain.
- Manual Traction: Gentle traction decompresses the spine and relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerve roots. It’s particularly effective for patients dealing with disc herniations, sciatica, or chronic tightness in the lower back.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Targeted work on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding the spine helps release tension, improve circulation, and create the conditions for faster, more complete healing.
- Rehabilitative Exercises: Corrective exercises tailored to your condition help strengthen the muscles that stabilize the spine. This reduces the risk of re-injury and gives your adjustments better long-term staying power.
- Posture Correction: For patients whose back pain is linked to how they sit, stand, or move throughout the day, Dr. Khayami provides practical guidance on postural habits that reduce the daily load on the spine.
Choosing a Chiropractor for Back Pain
Finding the right chiropractor makes a real difference in your results. Here are a few things worth considering before booking your first appointment:
- Qualifications and licensing: Make sure the chiropractor is licensed and has the proper training to treat your specific condition. Dr. Khayami holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and has years of clinical experience treating a wide range of back conditions.
- Experience with your condition: A chiropractor who regularly treats back pain, and specifically the type you’re dealing with, will be better equipped to identify the root cause and build an effective plan.
- Treatment approach: Look for a provider who takes time to evaluate you thoroughly before recommending care. A good chiropractor explains what they found, why they’re recommending a specific approach, and what realistic outcomes look like.
- Patient reviews: Online reviews and word-of-mouth referrals are still one of the most reliable ways to gauge whether a provider consistently delivers on their promises.
- Cost and insurance: Chiropractic fees vary by provider and treatment type. It’s worth asking upfront about costs and confirming what your insurance covers so there are no surprises.

Why Choose Better Health Solutions for Back Pain?
Scottsdale’s active lifestyle places real demands on the body. Whether you’re hiking in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, out on the golf course, or working long hours at a desk, your back is often the first thing to feel it. When pain starts limiting what you can do, you need a provider who listens and has the clinical skills to help.
Dr. Khayami has treated back pain for patients throughout Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the greater Phoenix area. Patients choose Better Health Solutions because care here is focused on the root cause rather than just symptom management, treatment is drug-free and non-invasive, and every plan is built around the individual patient rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

If you’ve been told your only real options are long-term medication or surgery, a chiropractic evaluation is worth pursuing before committing to either.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Patients who pursue chiropractic care for back pain often report improvements that go beyond pain relief. Because the spine and nervous system are so closely connected, restoring proper alignment can have a positive effect throughout the body.
Common benefits include reduced pain and stiffness, improved mobility and flexibility, better sleep quality, increased energy, and less reliance on over-the-counter pain medication. Many patients also notice improvements in nerve function that affect areas well beyond where their original pain was located.
Chiropractic care works best as part of a broader commitment to health. Dr. Khayami is glad to coordinate with your primary care physician or other specialists to make sure your care is well-rounded and complete.

When to See a Chiropractor for Back Pain
You don’t need to be in severe pain to benefit from chiropractic care. Many patients come in for a nagging ache or stiffness that has been building for months. Others come in following an acute injury, a car accident, or a flare-up of a long-standing condition.
If back pain is interfering with your ability to work, sleep, or stay active, it’s worth getting evaluated. Dr. Khayami will give you a clear picture of what’s going on and be upfront about whether chiropractic care is the right fit. If another type of specialist would serve you better, he’ll tell you that, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chiropractic care for back pain?
It’s a non-surgical, drug-free approach that focuses on identifying and correcting the structural causes of back pain, primarily spinal misalignments that affect the nerves, muscles, and joints around the spine.
Is chiropractic treatment for back pain safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is widely considered safe for most patients when performed by a licensed professional. Dr. Khayami conducts a full evaluation before recommending any treatment and will walk you through any considerations specific to your case.
How do chiropractors help with back pain?
By correcting spinal misalignments, chiropractors reduce the pressure on nerves and joints that generate pain signals. Combined with soft tissue therapy and rehabilitative exercises, this helps restore function and reduce inflammation at the source.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds to care. After your initial evaluation, Dr. Khayami will give you a realistic sense of what a treatment timeline looks like for your specific situation.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care?
Many plans do cover chiropractic treatment, though coverage varies. We recommend confirming with your provider, and our team is happy to help you understand what to ask.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a full health history review, a physical evaluation, and a conversation about your symptoms and goals. Dr. Khayami will explain his findings and outline a recommended treatment plan before anything begins.
Can chiropractic care prevent back pain from returning?
Regular care, combined with good postural habits and staying active, can significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of back pain episodes. Many patients transition to periodic maintenance visits once their initial condition has resolved.
