Back pain is not picky. Back pain may
find any of us at any time whether we are
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world people, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for aiding back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The more recent interest has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
New Roads Chiropractic Center follows this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
New Roads back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some time
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million
work days were documented to be lost in one year due
to back pain. (1) New Roads chiropractic care is designed
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
experience 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 combined chiropractic and primary 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 alone. (2)
New Roads Chiropractic Center sees these same outcomes for our
New Roads back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience other medical issues who utilized
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back
pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a threefold
bonus for New Roads
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 newly 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 optimal
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 get patients maximally improved. (5))
A similar 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 includes
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The goal
of New Roads chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. New Roads Chiropractic Center is prepared to provide
that!
