Back pain isn’t choosy. Back pain may
pick any of us at any time whether we are
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world people, active
military folks or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for helping back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The newer interest has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center keeps track of this research since
military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian
Pensacola back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get 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 because of back pain. (1) Pensacola chiropractic care is made
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often limits 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)
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center witnesses these same outcomes for our
Pensacola back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also experience other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
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 threefold
bonus with Pensacola chiropractic care for
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 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 sets out
to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (eight to twelve 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 achieve
maximum improvement for such patients. (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 intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim
of Pensacola chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is prepared to deliver
that!
