Satterwhite Chiropractic Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t choosy. Back pain may pick any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for helping back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military care systems. The newer curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian Oxford back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million work days were documented to be lost in one year due to back pain. (1) Oxford chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often limits their independence and multiplies the number of doctor visits they have. A study that combined primary care with chiropractic care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their back pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over just primary care. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our Oxford back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain who also have other medical issues who used only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower overall costs of care, briefer occurrences of back pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a threefold bonus for Oxford back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans get back pain and experience relief with chiropractic care. 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 sets out to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (eight to twelve visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is optimal 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 get patients maximally improved. (5)) A similar finding was made when chiropractic care was inserted into usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability and intensity was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that includes chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim of Oxford chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic is prepared to deliver that!
