BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggestions and recommendations run the gamut. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows. Everyone from friends, family members, researchers, doctors, others, have ideas and stories. In light of the wide range of back pain care recommendations, researchers propose that the standardization of back pain care - exercise, spinal manipulation and opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers most. (1) We agree. We review the research and mix it with our clinical experience to develop an individualized treatment plan for our back pain patients. With the predicted growth of low back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people globally to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug, non-surgical options for back pain are welcome, particularly ones that are tested and documented as beneficial. A a newly published paper regarding the care for one type of back pain - continued back pain after back surgery known as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) - that often develops into continued or increased opioid pain medication use. The study found that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression Manipulation reported decreased or discontinued use of opioids in the course of an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That is a positive outcome of a treatment approach to include in the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
