Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice a year to keep plaque away. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity each week to make an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 30 minutes a day five days a week to maintain optimal health for the body. Nutritionists recommend a good diet a day: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to feed the body properly. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association.

BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience at least one episode of back pain in our lifetime. One in 3 of us has back pain right now. Back pain is known to come and go not disappear for life. Satterwhite Chiropractic often informs patients that the current episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is begging for care. It won’t be ignored. Your spine will be grateful for a solid treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to maintain its mobility and health.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That is where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Oxford chiropractic patients know that chiropractic care lessens back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know that they do not want to suffer with such pain again! While there is no guarantee that back pain or neck pain will not come back, preventing pain and/or its return to as mild as possible is a worthwhile goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study called the Nordic Maintenance Care Program found that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that limited activities and boosted the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, does not stop new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
