OrthoIllinois Chiropractic Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t picky. 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 people or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for aiding back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The more recent curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian McHenry 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 due to back pain. (1) McHenry chiropractic care is created to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described as being debilitating as it often limits their independence and multiplies their doctor visits. A study that combined primary care with chiropractic care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over just primary care. (2) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic witnesses these same outcomes for our McHenry back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who employed 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 for McHenry back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans struggle with 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 newly 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 (8 to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management discovered 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 added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability and intensity was reported. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that includes chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The goal of McHenry chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is prepared to deliver that!
