Most patients with back pain will require surgery.

Explanation:

In most cases, back pain will resolve on its own with treatment at home and over-the-counter medications. Some patients benefit from spinal traction, a physiotherapy technique that applies a longitudinal stretch to the reachable joints and soft tissues that is commonly used on the cervical, lumbar spine and thoracic spine. Surgery is not usually recommended.

Dearborn Health was established in 2001. Our chiropractors Dr. Chris Kraemer and Dr. Paul Brown were the sole practitioners at the time, building up the office and our patient base. Originally from rural communities outside of Kitchener, Dr. Brown and Dr. Kraemer chose our neighborhood for the practice based on its central location. Since then, the office has changed places in our shopping plaza to better accommodate our growing staff and patient base. Today, we have more than 7000 square feet dedicated to our health and wellness centre. The options for your care we provide include chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, personal training, orthotics, pedorthic services and fitness classes. Easily Accessible From the Entire Area Dearborn Health is centrally located yet outside of the downtown core, where you run into excess traffic. You can easily reach us from any area of the city. Get here by bus, rail or take your own car and park in our spacious, free lot. Seniors and people with injuries appreciate that they can park close to the office and don’t have to worry about navigating stairs.
