Back pain is not picky. Back pain may
choose any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world people, active
military people or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for helping back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The more recent interest has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
Wilson Family Chiropractic follows this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Millville back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some point
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million
work days were documented to be lost in one year due
to back pain. (1) Millville chiropractic care is designed
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often limits their
independence and multiplies 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 primary care alone. (2)
Wilson Family Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our
Millville back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience other medical issues who utilized
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences 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 for Millville
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
experience back pain and get 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 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 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 inserted
into usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who
had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that includes
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim
of Millville chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Wilson Family Chiropractic is prepared to deliver
that!
