Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress

June 23, 2020

Stress of life and stress of military life are taxing. Chiropractic care offers relieving care to both military and non-military folks alike. Current studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans uncovered benefits of chiropractic care to which Fort Wayne chiropractic care patients can connect: improvement in pain, strength, and coping with pain. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is the Fort Wayne chiropractic pain and stress relief center!

STRESS AND PAIN

Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is working on addressing veterans’ needs. Medicine is at the front in the VA care system while many veterans are venturing outside that system for other care. A national survey of veterans discovered that 52% used complementary and integrated health approaches to manage their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation topping the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% said they are interested in trying at least one of these approaches: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were much more likely to try these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are like you! They pursue Fort Wayne chiropractic care outside the usual system at times, too!

HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH

Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers lose their strength and quality of life. Chiropractic care can frequently help. Veterans notably suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which causes difficulties with their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system takes into consideration these overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to carefully diagnose and manage PTSD veterans to be sure they are receiving all the necessary care. (2) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor thinks each of our Fort Wayne back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to maximize positive clinical outcomes.  

IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS

One positive clinical outcome sought by all back pain sufferers is to be able to do activities of daily living as they need and want. Back pain is known to reduce ability to daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are crucial daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were allocated to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients improved their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength dropped by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all got better with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some help.  90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the past month. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial.  Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc uses such pain decrasing, strength increasing care for Fort Wayne back pain sufferers, too!
