The GLOBAL Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
It is the time for chiropractic!
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is excited to offer chiropractic services in
McHenry and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the foremost
medical journals, published a number of articles
on the disappointing condition that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous problem everywhere and
getting worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a
major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low
back” providing that its providers put into
practice guidelines (like your chiropractor strives to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, follow evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date
of the latest research (and even participating
in research when able!). Chiropractic is known
for its role in treating back pain. It needs to find its way into mainstream
healthcare to take care of more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is developing toolkits for chiropractors to engage
with public health communities and be of greater
assistance to patients and communities inside
the health system as valued partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is
grateful for this sponsorship and vision
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this McHenry
chiropractic practice of OrthoIllinois Chiropractic strives to do here in
McHenry.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his McHenry patient care to help decrease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic may benefit
from wearing a lumbar support belt. New research reveals
that a lumbar support belt doesn’t necessarily
cause muscle weakness but rather increases
walking distance capability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
lessens use of pain medications, and improves
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor carefully considers
when and if to use of back braces for each individual McHenry
back pain patient as he or she heals with McHenry
chiropractic care, understanding the advantages
back braces may provide along the way.
