Why Williamson Chiropractic Care is Designed for Your Unique Back Pain Experience

Walking into a chiropractor's office when suffering with chronic back pain can feel overwhelming. Maybe your symptoms don't match what you have read online, or perhaps you're wondering if you're seeking the right form of care. Let Apple Country Chiropractic put your mind at ease: you're just where you are supposed to be.

A very new research study research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research: Spine reports just how diverse chronic low back pain presentations truly are. (1) The study by Piva and colleagues looked at chronic low back pain sufferers and found an extraordinary variation in how people experience their pain. This research substantiates what chiropractors have long known – chronic back pain doesn't always follow a one-size-fits-all pattern.

The study described the large variety of demographic and biomedical characteristics among chronic low back pain patients, exhibiting that your unique presentation is completely normal. Whether your pain is steady or comes-and-goes, shooting or throbbing, confined or spreading you're not alone – this is simply how back pain works.

Interestingly, the chiropractic profession is is committed to measuring and improving how well treatments workis dedicated to studying what works best for patients like you. A comprehensive scoping review published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies by Carmichael and colleagues examined chiropractic clinical outcomes registries. (2) These state-of-the-art systems track patient outcomes and continuously boost care quality.

This research shows that chiropractic care is embracing evidence-based practice to ensure effective treatment. Clinical outcomes registries track real patient results, helping chiropractors appreciate which treatments work best for varied back pain presentations.

Rather than forcing your symptoms into a rigid diagnostic box, modern chiropractic care recognizes that effective treatment must be tailored to your specific needs. One example of a clinical data collection of real patient outcomes was done for Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction which tracked clinical outcomes through studies like the 1000 cases study of patients with a variety of back pain diagnoses in the 1990s and the more recent study of patients dealing with continued back pain after back surgery. (3,4) Both collected real data for the number of visits and days to improvement for these patients.

Whether your back pain started over time or right away, whether it's your first episode or another episode like you've dealt with for years, whether you can predict what triggers it or it seems to flare up without warning – you're in capable hands at Apple Country Chiropractic. The chiropractic profession's - and Apple Country Chiropractic’s - commitment to tracking outcomes means your treatment will be informed by the latest research and real-world results from thousands of patients like you.
