Connected Chiropractic Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may pick any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active military people or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for aiding back pain sufferers persists and grows in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The newer curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief. Connected Chiropractic keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian Elgin 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 documented to be lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Elgin chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described as being debilitating as it often limits their independence and multiplies their doctor visits. A study that merged primary care with chiropractic care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over primary care only. (2) Connected Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our Elgin back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain who also have other medical issues who utilized only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced overall costs of care, shorter episodes 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 with Elgin 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 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 achieve maximum improvement for such patients. (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 intensity and disability was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim of Elgin chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Connected Chiropractic is prepared to provide that!
