Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may
choose any of us at any time whether we are
stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world people, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for relieving 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 optimal for back pain relief.
Spine & Sports Rehab Center follows this research since
military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian
Baton Rouge 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) Baton Rouge chiropractic care is designed
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often limits their
independence and increases the number of doctor visits they
have. A study that merged primary care
with chiropractic care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over just primary care. (2)
Spine & Sports Rehab Center sees these same outcomes for our
Baton Rouge back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also have other medical issues who employed
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower
overall costs of care, briefer episodes of back
pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a threefold
bonus with Baton Rouge chiropractic care for
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 recently proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain seeks
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 get patients maximally improved. (5))
A similar finding was made when chiropractic care was added to 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 incorporates
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim
of Baton Rouge chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Spine & Sports Rehab Center is prepared to deliver
that!
