How Long Do I Have to See The Chiropractor?
"Why do I need continued chiropractic treatments for my back pain? Why can't you, my Montreal chiropractor, just treat it and end the pain forever?"
This is not an unexpected question, and it's also really reasonable. The answer is fairly simple, too, though dual: we are born with spinal issues or we acquire them.
BORN-WITH-IT BACK PAIN
Some of us are born with spinal weaknesses that will be with us forever. Such conditions as spondylolisthesis, transitional vertebrae, fused vertebrae, and spinal curvatures are distinctive to one's own spine. There is no route to "get a new back bone" if one of these conditions is ours. So we must figure out how to use our spines so as to not cause pain. Your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic can deliver the spinal manipulation designed to ease your specific spinal condition. Then, you will want to consider its
- proper ergonomic use (how to lift, bend, twist, sit, stand, walk, climb, reach, pull, etc.). You don't want to put your now-pain-relieved spine in jeopardy again.
- nutritional needs - Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will suggest some nutrition ideas to bolster certain weaknesses of the spine.
- strengthening requirements - Our simple exercises don't take long but will take you and your spine far in preserving its strength!
It is in these on-going spine problems that we - you and your Montreal chiropractor - must work together for the most welcome outcome, even coming in for occasional spinal manipulation. (1)
LIFE-ACQUIRED BACK PAIN
Some of us injure our backs. We do things that harm the seemingly healthiest of spines: falling off a snowmobile or ladder or wakeboard or lifting too much weight. You get the idea - things we do in our normal activities of daily living may harm us, and we wind up with back pain. So, when we hurt the spine to the level that we cause intervertebral disc degeneration, a herniated disc, arthritis, misaligned vertebrae, etc., we now have a spinal weakness which may become the vulnerable link in our spinal health.
We all must maintain a strong, well-aligned spine and use the spine with the respect and knowledge of avoiding those settings that could cause it pain.
How? You and your Montreal chiropractor see each other every now and then. An occasional visit to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic for spinal alignment and assessment of healthy spine maintenance is good. Post-continued spinal manipulation after the original pain-relieving care is even described as a way to chieve long-term benefit. (1) Truly, prevention is much better than having to go through repetitive treatment of Montreal back pain. It avoids pain and suffering in this moment and decreases the risk of further spine pain in the future.
PATIENT-CENTERED BACK PAIN CARE: CHIROPRACTIC
A new report reflected on the reality of low back pain being a major reason for disability around the world. It is persistent or recurrent for many people. It is not common that it just goes away and never returns. Luckily, chiropractic maintenance care or management treatment plan has been reported as effective in reducing the number of days of pain for some sufferers. Patients for whom maintenance care was recorded to be of high value saw such care as “patient-centered” while cost, (un)availability of care, and fear of treatment concerned others. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic strives to address all of these concerns which often go away as the back pain decreases.
Whether you were born with it or developed it, back pain is not fun. Remedy is possible with Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Just understand that there is a logical necessity and even benefit for occasional spinal manipulation and chiropractic care for certain spine conditions. (1)
