Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may
choose any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world workers, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for relieving back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief.
Satterwhite Chiropractic keeps track of this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Oxford back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some time
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million
work days were documented to be lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Oxford chiropractic care is designed
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
get low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is described
as being debilitating as it often curbs their
independence and multiplies their doctor visits. A study that merged primary care
with chiropractic care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over primary care alone. (2)
Satterwhite Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our
Oxford back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain along with other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, shorter episodes of back
pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a threefold
bonus with Oxford chiropractic care for
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 treatment. 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 seeks
to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (8
to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management found in a study of 1000 back pain
patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to achieve
maximum improvement for such patients. (5))
A related 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 intensity and disability was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The goal
of Oxford chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic is prepared to deliver
that!
