CHRONIC BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH CHIROPRACTIC

Chronic back pain sends many sufferers to doctors’ offices for help. Chronic back pain’s impact on the sufferer and his/her “default mode network” of living reflects the years lived with pain: the longer the pain period, the more impact the pain has on the patient and his/her cognitive pain coping attitude. (1) Not surprising, but it’s now described in the medical literature and will likely be analyzed more. It’s also understood that lumbar spinal stenosis patients differ in their symptom severity and improvement track from “improving” to “fluctuating/improving” to “persistent.” (2) Back pain is really a unique journey, one your chiropractor goes on with you as chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation is high on clinical practice guidelines’ lists of noninvasive, non-drug pain therapies. (3) In point of published fact, non-surgical, conservative care options lead treatment recommendations lists. Spinal manipulation, chiropractic’s forte, is a top recommendation in many treatment recommendation records by groups like the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society. (4) Using chiropractic care and such approaches as mindfulness - which has been shown to improve pain-related functions - may be quite beneficial for you. (5)

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Joseph Beissel and his chronic back pain patient on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson  about the use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment protocols to manage chronic back pain and return some joy to life.
