Their approach is grounded in the latest scientific research, which has demonstrated the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments for several common health issues. Let’s explore the evidence-based effectiveness of chiropractic care for various conditions, as highlighted by recent studies and as practiced at Sirucek Chiropractic Neurology Clinic.
Understanding Evidence-Based Practice
Before delving into specific conditions, it’s important to understand the concept of evidence-based practice. This approach integrates clinical expertise, patient values, and the best available research evidence to guide healthcare decisions. At Sirucek Chiropractic Neurology Clinic, Drs. Dax and Maria Sirucek employ this methodology to ensure their patients receive the most effective and scientifically supported treatments.
Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care. Research has consistently shown the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments for various types of low back pain:
- Chronic Low Back Pain: Multiple studies have demonstrated that chiropractic manipulations can significantly reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic low back pain.
- Acute and Subacute Low Back Pain: Spinal manipulation has been shown to be effective for short-term relief and functional improvement.
- Non-Specific Low Back Pain: Chiropractic care has been found to be as effective as other common treatments for non-specific low back pain.
At Sirucek Chiropractic Neurology Clinic, the doctors use a combination of spinal manipulation, soft tissue techniques, and rehabilitative exercises to address low back pain comprehensively.
Neck Pain and Chiropractic Care
Both severe and moderate neck pain have been shown to respond well to chiropractic treatments:
- A 2019 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that cervical manipulation led to significant improvements in neck pain intensity and disability.
- The Bronfort et al. (2010) study, cited in the original article, confirmed the effectiveness of manual therapies for neck pain.
Dr. Dax Sirucek’s unique combination of chiropractic and neurological expertise allows for a more nuanced approach to treating neck pain, addressing both structural and neurological components.
Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches
Chiropractic care has shown promising results for various types of headaches:
- Migraine Headaches: Studies have indicated that spinal manipulation can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.
- Cervicogenic Headaches: Chiropractic adjustments have been particularly effective for headaches originating from the neck.
At Sirucek Chiropractic Neurology Clinic, the doctors employ a multifaceted approach to headache treatment, combining spinal adjustments with soft tissue therapy and lifestyle advice.
Cervicogenic Dizziness
Dizziness originating from the neck (cervicogenic dizziness) is another condition that has shown positive responses to chiropractic care. The clinic’s neurological expertise is particularly beneficial in diagnosing and treating this complex condition.
Hip Pain from Arthritis
While less commonly associated with chiropractic care, hip pain from arthritis has also shown improvement with chiropractic treatments. The clinic offers a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription, and lifestyle advice to manage arthritic hip pain effectively.

- Individualized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment and the latest research, a personalized treatment plan is developed for each patient.
- Multimodal Approach: Treatments often combine spinal manipulation with other evidence-based therapies such as soft tissue techniques, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle modifications.
