Back pain is not picky. Back pain may
find any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active
military folks or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for aiding back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief.
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic keeps track of this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Montreal 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 reportedly lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Montreal chiropractic care is made
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
get low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their
independence and increases the number of doctor visits they
have. A study that merged chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought
about modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over just primary care. (2)
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic sees these same outcomes for our
Montreal 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 reduced
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back
pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a triple
bonus with Montreal chiropractic care for
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
struggle with back pain and experience relief
with chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is well-integrated into
the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal
conditions. A newly proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain sets out
to see if low dose (1 to 5 visits) or higher dose (8
to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is optimal
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 with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The goal
of Montreal chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is prepared to deliver
that!
