Continued Williamson Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain Management
Regular Williamson chiropractic care. A helpful idea? Yes! Consider other good regular care concepts: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice a year to keep plaque at bay. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend exercising at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity each week to make an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to keep the body in tune. Nutritionists recommend a good diet a day: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to nourish the body well. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association. (1,2) Chiropractors recommend spinal manipulation treatments regularly, too, not necessarily daily once the pain is under control, but regularly to keep in check spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Apple Country Chiropractic cares for many Williamson chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Williamson chiropractic patients who choose such care to maintain healthy and pain-free spines as best they can.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience at least one episode of back pain in our lifetime. A third of us experiences back pain this moment. Back pain is known to wax and wane not go away forever. Apple Country Chiropractic often tells patients that the existing episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It won’t be ignored. Your spine will be grateful for an effective treatment plan to get rid of the pain as well as a plan to keep it mobile and healthy.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Williamson chiropractic patients understand that chiropractic care alleviates back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know that they don’t want to suffer with such pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain won’t come back, preventing pain and/or its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study called the Nordic Maintenance Care Program reported that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that limited activities and improved the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, does not prevent new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers with recurrent and persistent low back pain.
