CONWAY — Back pain is one of the top 10 reasons for medical visits. For many of those patients, the back pain becomes chronic. It’s also one of the leading causes for days missed at work. The cause of back pain ranges from injury to arthritis, but when it strikes, patients only have one thing in mind … how to make it better as quickly as possible.
With so many impacted by back pain and other musculoskeletal pain, Dr. Warren Chin, D.O. ,recently decided to focus his medical practice full time to treating patients with a time-honored approach to pain care, osteopathic manipulation therapy (O.M.T.).
