The Path of Oxford Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care
You have a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Are you curious about what that means going forward? Certainly, you are! The trajectory – researchers’ name for the path of back pain – of the Oxford back pain experience is individual to each, but there are factors that may help foretell that course. Satterwhite Chiropractic offers some input on the influence of lifestyle and chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to contain the path of back pain. Patients who undergo chiropractic care for their chronic (more than 3 months) and acute (less than a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 30 days and 90 days of care. Particularly, acute back pain patients who reported having more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered faster. Most patients with lumbar radicular leg pain improved. Both acute and chronic back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) Another study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients recorded that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients treated with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic sees even better outcomes with our specific form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
A question arises: why stop chiropractic care with pain relief? Researchers documented that low back pain patients who underwent chiropractic maintenance care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis regardless of their symptoms – reported fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Oxford chiropractic care on a regular basis looks positive.
WHAT TO DO – More Activity
More is not always better, but some kinds of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain sufferer with a lifetime history of back pain may want to consider engaging in more moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was found to reduce the odds of extending severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic knows none of us back pain sufferers enjoys hearing that, but it is the finding of a study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Know too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately raises the odds of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let’s at Satterwhite Chiropractic find that with you, the spot that inhibits back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
