OrthoIllinois Chiropractic reveals these NEW back pain guidelines and recommendations:

 

 

For acute, subacute and chronic low back pain, the American College of Physicians suggests non-invasive, non-drug treatment of low back pain at any of these stages, particularly spinal manipulation among the recommendations. (1) Any stage of McHenry back pain or McHenryneck pain is welcomed at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. Our McHenry chiropractic care applies to any stage of pain! The Cox Technic system of McHenry back pain relief decreases intradiscal pressures, widens the intervertebral spinal canal area by up to 28%, and enhances spinal mobility.

Acute low back pain – pain that lasts up to 6 weeks in duration – responds to spinal manipulation according to a new article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that reviewed published randomized clinical trials. This review finds that spinal manipulation provides modest improvement in pain and function with no serious adverse effects. (2)  

 

JAMA also printed an editorial by the prominent medical doctor and author, Richard Deyo, MD, about spinal manipulation for back pain incorporating Paige’s study. The editorial explains that spinal manipulation treatment for acute low back pain is appropriate. Its use is in line with the American College of Physicians review and subsequent guideline. Spinal manipulation provides modest improvement in pain and function in the short-term compared with sham manipulation, usual care and other treatments. And of note, Deyo emphasizes that, of the trials reviewed by Paige et al and the American College of Physicians, none suggested that spinal manipulation care was less effective than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). SMT proved equal to or better than conventional care. (3) 

 

Cox Technic spinal manipulation as offered at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is well documented as to how it biomechanically and clinically enhances back pain: days and visits to maximum improvement as well as the effects it has on spinal elements like disc pressures and spinal canal area. Your chiropractor offers this cutting edge, well-documented, and researched form of spinal manipulation.  Contact OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for a McHenry chiropractic visit for back pain relief with spinal manipulative care.
