Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t choosy. Back pain may pick any of us at any time whether we’re stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active military people or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for relieving back pain sufferers persists and grows in the civilian and veteran/military care systems. The newer curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian Manchester back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some point 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) Manchester 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 reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that merged chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over just primary care. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries sees these same outcomes for our Manchester back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who employed only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower overall costs of care, shorter occurrences of back pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a threefold bonus for Manchester back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans get back pain and get 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 seeks to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (8 to 12 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 get patients maximally improved. (5)) A related finding was made when chiropractic care was inserted into usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability and intensity was reported. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim of Manchester chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is prepared to provide that!
