Back pain isn’t choosy. 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 folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for relieving back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief.
Chiropractic Care follows this research since
military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian
West Palm Beach 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 reportedly lost in one year due
to back pain. (1) West Palm Beach chiropractic care is created
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
experience low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often limits their
independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that merged chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought
about modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over primary care alone. (2)
Chiropractic Care sees these same outcomes for our
West Palm Beach back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience other medical issues who utilized
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back
pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a triple
bonus with West Palm Beach chiropractic care for
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 recently proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain seeks
to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (eight to twelve visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management found 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 who
had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability
and intensity was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that includes
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim
of West Palm Beach chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Chiropractic Care is prepared to provide
that!
