Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may
find any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for aiding back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The more recent interest has been how
much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief.
Layden Chiropractic keeps track of this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Plainville back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some time
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million
work days were documented to be lost in one year due
to back pain. (1) Plainville chiropractic care is made
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often limits their
independence and increases the number of doctor visits they
have. A study that merged primary care
with chiropractic care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over just primary care. (2)
Layden Chiropractic witnesses these same outcomes for our
Plainville back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain along with other medical issues who employed
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, shorter episodes of back
pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a triple
bonus for Plainville
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
struggle with back pain and get relief
with chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is well-integrated into
the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal
conditions. A newly proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain sets out
to see if low dose (1 to 5 visits) or higher dose (8
to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is optimal
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management discovered in a study of 1000 back pain
patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to get patients maximally improved. (5))
A related finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim
of Plainville chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Layden Chiropractic is prepared to provide
that!
