Apple Country Chiropractic Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t choosy. Back pain may find any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for helping back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The more recent interest has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Apple Country Chiropractic keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian Williamson back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some time in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million work days were reportedly lost in one year due to back pain. (1) Williamson chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described as being debilitating as it often curbs 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 primary care only. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our Williamson back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain who also have other medical issues who employed only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced overall costs of care, briefer episodes 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 Williamson chiropractic care for back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans experience back pain and experience relief with chiropractic care. 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 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 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 inserted into usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability and intensity was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim of Williamson chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Apple Country Chiropractic is prepared to deliver that!
