Back pain isn’t choosy. Back pain may
pick any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world people, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for helping back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc follows this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Fort Wayne back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience 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 due
to back pain. (1) Fort Wayne 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 limits 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)
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees these same outcomes for our
Fort Wayne back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain who also have other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back
pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a threefold
bonus for Fort Wayne
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 seeks
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 found 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 similar 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 disability
and intensity was reported.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim
of Fort Wayne chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is prepared to provide
that!
