Downers Grove Chiropractor, Dr. Mike DeCubellis, Provides Natural Solutions For Back Pain

Main Street Chiropractic of Downers Grove is pleased to announce that Dr. Mike DeCubellis, Downers Grove Chiropractor, has been recognized for his success in providing safe and natural solutions to individuals suffering from back pain. The doctor uses a holistic approach that addresses the immediate pain as well as the root cause to give an individual the ability to resume their normal activities without fear of recurring pain.

When interviewed recently, Dr. DeCubellis stated, "More people than ever before are suffering from back pain to some extent. Most people work in sedentary jobs, then go home and work on their computers for long hours. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the neck and spine and results in a compression of discs and pinched nerves. When I work with patients, I carefully evaluate their normal activities and the time they spend sitting in the same position. The wellness plans I create for my patients address all aspects of their life and I encourage them to become active participants in reaching their health and wellness goals."

Patients who visit Dr. DeCubellis are given an extensive examination to determine the areas of the body that are damaged or injured. The doctor discusses lifestyle, diet, medical history and triggers for the pain. In addition, he conducts flexibility and mobility testing to determine the extent of the damage and its impact on the extremities of the body.

After evaluating all of the data collected, the doctor creates an individualized program that will address the immediate pain through the use of low-force manipulation to realign the discs in the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves. The doctor may use other therapies such as deep-tissue massage and heat/cold therapy to relieve swelling and inflammation to the areas that have been damaged. In addition, he will use state-of-the-art equipment to increase circulation in the tissues and muscles surrounding the damaged areas.

The doctor will often recommend exercises designed to improve circulation and increase the strength of the muscle groups supporting the back. In addition, he will make suggestions about changes to the diet to increase the intake of vitamins and nutrients that are critical to helping the body heal and regenerate damaged cells and tissues more quickly.
