Back pain is not choosy. Back pain may
pick any of us at any time whether we are
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active
military folks 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 best for back pain relief.
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center keeps track of this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Manahawkin back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get 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) Manahawkin chiropractic care is created
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 reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their
independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that combined 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)
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center witnesses these same outcomes for our
Manahawkin back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience 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 triple
bonus for Manahawkin
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 (1 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 found 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 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 documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim
of Manahawkin chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is prepared to deliver
that!
