Apple Country Chiropractic Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are taxing. Chiropractic care extends relieving care to both military and non-military folks correspondingly. Recent studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans revealed benefits of chiropractic care to which Williamson chiropractic care patients can relate: improvement in pain, strength, and dealing with pain. Apple Country Chiropractic is the Williamson chiropractic pain and stress relief center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is working on addressing veterans’ needs. Medicine is at the front in the VA care system while many veterans are going outside that system for additional care. A national study of veterans found that 52% employed complementary and integrated health approaches to deal with their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation topping the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% reported they are interested in undertaking at least one of these options: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were much more likely to use these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are not unlike you! They pursue Williamson chiropractic care outside the routine system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers lose their strength and quality of life. Chiropractic care can oftentimes help. Veterans particularly suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which causes difficulties with their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system accounts for such overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to carefully diagnose and coordinate care of PTSD veterans to ensure they are receiving all the care they need. (2) Your Williamson chiropractor thinks each of our Williamson back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to optimize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome wanted by all back pain sufferers is to perform activities of daily living as they need and want. Back pain is known to reduce ability to daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are key daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were sent to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients bettered their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength reduced by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all improved with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some help. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the last 30 days. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Apple Country Chiropractic uses such pain decrasing, strength increasing care for Williamson back pain sufferers, too!
