The Path of Williamson Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care
You have a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Do you wonder what that means going forward? Certainly, you are! The trajectory – researchers’ name for the course of back pain – of the Williamson back pain experience is individual to each, but there are factors that may help forecast that course. Apple Country Chiropractic offers some input on the effect of lifestyle and chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to contain the path of back pain. Patients who undergo chiropractic care for their chronic (over 3 months) and acute (under a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 1 and 3 months of care. More specifically, acute back pain patients who reported having more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered faster. The majority of patients with lumbar radicular leg pain bettered. Both acute and chronic back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) Another study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients documented that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients treated with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic sees even greater outcomes with our particular form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
A question arises: why halt chiropractic care with pain relief? Researchers documented that low back pain patients who experienced chiropractic maintenance care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis regardless of their symptoms – experienced fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Williamson chiropractic care on a regular basis seems beneficial.
WHAT TO DO – More Activity
More is not always better, but some kinds of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain patient with a lifetime history of back pain may want to consider participating in higher volumes of moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was shown to reduce the odds of developing severe low back pain over the next year. (4) Apple Country Chiropractic knows none of us back pain sufferers wants to hear that, but it is the finding of one study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Know too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately increases the odds of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let’s at Apple Country Chiropractic uncover that with you, the spot that inhibits back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
