Drug-Free Pain Management for Scottsdale Patients
Pain changes how you move, how you sleep, and what you say yes to. Most people try to push through it, or rely on medication that wears off and leaves them back where they started.
At Better Health Solutions, Dr. Abbas Khayami finds the structural cause of your pain and corrects it directly with hands-on chiropractic care. No prescriptions. No injections. No surgery.
Our Statistics
How We Control Pain Without Drugs
Chiropractic pain control works by restoring proper movement and alignment to the joints and spine, which reduces pressure on nerves and allows the body to heal.
When a joint is restricted or misaligned, the surrounding nerves and muscles compensate. That compensation creates tension, inflammation, and pain in areas that may feel completely unrelated to the original problem. Dr. Khayami identifies those patterns and corrects them directly.
Patients from Old Town Scottsdale, Arcadia, and McCormick Ranch come to Better Health Solutions because they want a real answer for their pain, not another bottle of pills. The treatments below are the tools Dr. Khayami uses to get there.
Treatments Used for Pain Relief
Dr. Khayami uses several techniques depending on where your pain is and what is driving it. Most patients receive a combination of these as part of their care plan.
Chiropractic adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment restores proper movement to a restricted joint. When joints in the spine or extremities stop moving correctly, they create nerve irritation and muscle tension that compounds into pain. Adjustments are the most direct way to correct that restriction. Most patients feel a difference after the first few visits.
Manual traction
Manual traction gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on the discs and nerves. It is especially effective for patients dealing with sciatica, herniated discs, and nerve-related pain that radiates into the arms or legs. Dr. Khayami typically uses this alongside adjustments for the best results.
Spinal decompression
Spinal decompression applies a slow, controlled pull to the spine to create negative pressure inside the disc. This draws bulging or herniated disc material back toward the center and promotes circulation to the disc, which speeds healing. It is a non-invasive option for patients who have been told surgery might be their only choice.
Ultrasound therapy
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to generate gentle heat deep in the soft tissue. This reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, and relaxes tight muscles around painful joints. It is often used to prepare the area before an adjustment or to reduce soreness after.
Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation delivers small electrical pulses to the muscles and soft tissue. This interrupts pain signals being sent to the brain and encourages the muscles to relax. It is particularly useful for patients dealing with muscle spasms or acute pain that makes other treatment difficult at first.

Most patients arrive at our clinic with one of the conditions below. Many have already tried other approaches. Chiropractic care gets results when the root cause is a structural or mechanical problem in the spine or joints.
Back pain
Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Dr. Khayami identifies whether your pain comes from a disc, a joint, a muscle, or a combination, then builds a plan around the actual cause. Most patients see improvement within the first few visits.
Neck pain
Neck pain often develops gradually from poor posture, repetitive strain, or a spinal misalignment. Many Scottsdale patients who work at a desk all day come in with neck pain that has been building for months. Adjustments and soft tissue work get the joint moving again and take pressure off the surrounding nerves.
Sciatica
Sciatica causes a sharp, shooting pain that starts in the lower back and runs through the hip and down the leg. It is usually caused by compression on the sciatic nerve. Manual traction and chiropractic adjustments reduce that compression and provide lasting relief without the side effects that come with medication.
Headaches and migraines
Many headaches originate in the neck and upper spine. When the joints at the base of the skull are restricted, the muscles around them tighten and trigger referred pain into the head. Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine reduce how often headaches happen and how severe they are when they do.
Shoulder pain
Shoulder pain is often a joint problem, a nerve problem, or both. Dr. Khayami looks at how the shoulder, neck, and upper back are moving together to find where the breakdown is happening. Treatment addresses the full chain, not just the spot where it hurts.
Whiplash and auto injuries
Whiplash symptoms can take days to appear after a car accident. Getting evaluated early makes a significant difference in recovery time. Dr. Khayami documents your injuries and starts treatment right away to prevent acute pain from becoming chronic.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist. In many cases, the nerve compression is not only at the wrist but also along the neck and forearm. Chiropractic care addresses the full nerve pathway, which produces better outcomes than treating the wrist alone.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis creates an abnormal lateral curve in the spine that leads to uneven muscle tension and chronic pain. Chiropractic care cannot reverse the curve, but it can reduce the pain and muscle dysfunction that come with it and help patients avoid the need for more invasive intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care effective for chronic pain in Scottsdale?
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most researched non-drug approaches to chronic pain management. At my practice in Scottsdale, I work with patients who have been dealing with pain for months or years. The key is finding the mechanical cause and correcting it directly, which produces lasting results rather than temporary relief.
How is a pain control clinic different from a standard chiropractor?
A pain control focus means the clinic is organized around identifying the source of pain and building a treatment plan around eliminating it. At Better Health Solutions, I use a combination of adjustments, traction, decompression, and soft tissue therapy together based on what your specific pain requires, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Will I need to take any medication as part of my treatment?
No. Chiropractic care at Better Health Solutions is entirely drug-free. I do not prescribe medication, and your care plan will not require you to take any. If I identify something during your exam that needs a referral to another provider, I will tell you directly.
How many visits does it take to control pain with chiropractic care?
Most patients notice a meaningful reduction in pain within the first three to five visits. The full plan depends on how long the problem has been present and how severe it is. I give every patient a clear picture of what to expect after the initial exam, including how many visits I recommend and why.
Do you accept insurance at your Scottsdale pain control clinic?
Yes. Better Health Solutions accepts Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Ambetter, and Health Net. Free consultations are also available for new patients who want to understand their options before committing to a care plan.
Can chiropractic care help if I have already had back surgery?
In many cases, yes. Post-surgical patients often develop pain at other spinal levels due to altered mechanics. I evaluate each case individually to determine what is safe and appropriate. If chiropractic care is not the right fit for your situation, I will tell you that directly and help you understand what your options are.
What should I bring to my first appointment at Better Health Solutions?
Bring any recent imaging you have, such as X-rays or MRI results, along with your insurance card. If you have records from a previous provider that relate to your current pain, those are helpful too. Your first visit includes a full exam so I can build an accurate picture of what is going on before recommending any treatment.
