BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
They run the gamut. Connected Chiropractic hears about them all the time. Everyone from friends, family members, researchers, doctors, etc., have opinions and stories. In light of the wide range of back pain care recommendations, researchers suggest that the standardization of care for back pain - exercise, spinal manipulation and opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers best. (1) We agree. We read the research and mingle it with our experience when developing an individualized treatment plan for our back pain patients. With the predicted growth of low back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people around the world to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug, non-surgical options for back pain are welcome, particularly ones that are tried and documented as beneficial. A new paper was just published regarding the care for one type of back pain - continued back pain after back surgery also called failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) - that often results in continued or increased opioid pain medication use. The study found that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression Manipulation experienced reduction or discontinuation of opioid use in the course of an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That’s an encouraging outcome of a treatment approach to incorporate into the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Elgin chiropractic patients do to control their back pain and its impact on their lives? Sleep. Keep active. Makes their appointments for spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain sufferers noted that additional sleep, less sedentariness, and more moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity was beneficial. The authors described an example of how swapping 30 minutes of sedentary behavior for 30 minutes of sleep reduced low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is important! (4) So too is a visit to the Elgin chiropractor for spinal manipulation as it is listed in the recommendations by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain together with exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Connected Chiropractic is experienced in delivering gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, creating an easy exercise plan, and referring out for therapy and/or more advance rehab as needed or wanted.
