1 in 4 American Workers Struggle With Chronic Back Pain

Back Pain — Grand Forks, ND — ChiroCenter One

A recent report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveal that 1 in 4 American workers struggle with chronic lower back pain. That equates to roughly 40 million Americans. In fact, 80 percent of adults will experience a disabling episode of lower back pain at some point in their lives. It's no surprise, then, that lower back pain is the leading cause of disability among working-age adults.

Unfortunately, too many people are turning to opioid pain killers for their chronic lower back pain. Not only is this contributing to the current opioid epidemic, but pain killers do nothing to help improve the condition. Masking symptoms will just prolong the problem, and sometimes even make the problem worse as further damage is done while under the influence of opioids.

Chiropractic care, on the other hand, uses no drugs or surgery and is highly successful in treating both chronic and acute lower back pain. When you feel better with chiropractic care it's because you are better....we don't just cover up symptoms but actually make your back and spinal joints move and work better.

Dr. Brian Jongeward has been a chiropractor in Grand Forks for over 23 years and has seen thousands of patients with lower back pain. If you have any additional questions regarding your lower back pain, or any other spinal pain, please do not hesitate to contact ChiroCenter One by calling 701-775-0223 or send an e-mail to info@chirocenterone.com .

Chiropractic & Coronavirus IV

Effective immediately, ChiroCenter One will no longer require the use of masks while in the clinic waiting or treatment rooms. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged to continue wearing masks, in alignment with the updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We will continue our use of plexiglass barriers at the front desk and in the treatment rooms at this time. We will also continue our standard practice of disinfecting commonly touched surfaces at the front desk, in the waiting room, and in the treatment room. For those people who choose to wear a mask in the clinic, our staff and doctor will wear one as well. If you have any questions regarding this policy change please do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone .

Chiropractic & Coronavirus III

By Admin • 08 Feb, 2021

Who would have imagined I would be writing another post about COVID-19 almost a year from my first post? Just wanted to give an update on what is happening at ChiroCenter One and what we are doing to keep ourselves and our patient's safe. As of last week I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and in less than two weeks Lori my office manager will be getting her second dose as well. We continue to follow best practices as set forth by the CDC, OSHA, ND Department of Health, and Grand Forks Public Health. We continue to wear N95 masks when dealing with patients, and patients entering the clinic are required to use face coverings as well. Patient's are still being scheduled as much as possible so that only one person is in the clinic at a time. Again, to help us with this, please do not show up late or super early for your appointment. Sanitation of the clinic and common surfaces is still a number one priority. We have installed protective shields at the front desk and in the treatment room.
