Satterwhite Chiropractic’s assistance for back pain relief! We have lots of effective chiropractic services.
BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggestions and recommendations run the gamut.
Satterwhite Chiropractic hears about them all the time. Everyone from
friends, family members, researchers, doctors, etc., have opinions
and stories. In light of the inconsistency of back
pain care recommendations, researchers suggest that the standardization
of back pain care - exercise, spinal manipulation and
opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers
optimally. (1) We agree. We examin
the research and combine it with our
experience when developing an individualized treatment
plan for our back pain patients. With the predicted growth of low
back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people around the world
to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug,
non-surgical options for back pain are welcome, especially
ones that are tested and documented to be beneficial. A new
paper was just published regarding
the care for one type of back pain - continued back pain after
back surgery also called failed back surgery syndrome
(FBSS) - that often results in continued or increased opioid
pain medication use. The study found
that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression
Manipulation described reduction or discontinuation of opioid use during an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That’s a positive outcome of a treatment approach to include in the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Oxford chiropractic patients do
to limit their back pain and its impact on their lives?
Sleep. Be active. Get to
their appointments for spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain
sufferers listed that more sleep, less sedentariness,
and increased moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity was
beneficial. The authors described an example of how swapping 30
minutes of sedentary behavior for 30 minutes of sleep decreased
low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is important!
(4) So too is a visit to the Oxford chiropractor for spinal
manipulation as it is listed in the recommendations
by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having
good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain along with
exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Satterwhite Chiropractic is experienced in providing
gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, designing
a simple exercise plan, and recommending
therapy and/or more advance rehab as necessary or wanted.
