Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may
pick any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world people, active
military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for helping back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The more recent curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief.
Back And Neck Care Center follows this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Severna Park back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience 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 because of back pain. (1) Severna Park chiropractic care is created
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
experience low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often curbs their
independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that merged chiropractic and primary care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over just primary care. (2)
Back And Neck Care Center witnesses these same outcomes for our
Severna Park back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back
pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a triple
bonus with Severna Park chiropractic care for
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
struggle with back pain and experience relief
with chiropractic treatment. 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 (eight to twelve visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management documented in a study of 1000 back pain
patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to achieve
maximum improvement for such patients. (5))
A similar finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The goal
of Severna Park chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Back And Neck Care Center is prepared to provide
that!
