Richmond Spinal Manipulation Relieves Back Pain
Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is “it,” and Johnson Chiropractic has it. Spinal manipulation is showing up in more and more medical guidelines for back pain relief. Medical care guidelines are recommending spinal manipulation as a conservative, non-drug way to relieve back pain, expressly in the wave of the opioid epidemic that often starts with medications for back pain control. Today, spinal manipulation is “it”! Johnson Chiropractic delivers Richmond spinal manipulation in a safe, gentle, relieving way with chiropractic Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Spinal Manipulation.
Non-Drug Care First for Back Pain
The latest medical back pain care guidelines circulated include those from the American College of Physicians (internists). Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, these guidelines delineate three types of back pain: acute/subacute, chronic, and non-responsive. For the acute/subacute/chronic back pain patients, spinal manipulation is a treatment course recommendation. (1) It is non-invasive and non-pharmacological. Johnson Chiropractic adds that it is effective! It is evidence-based.
The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article sanctioning spinal manipulation. One is a review of published randomized clinical trials. (Johnson Chiropractic points out that these review studies are high level research!) This review centers on acute low back pain (pain that persists for up to 6 weeks). It reports that spinal manipulation exhibits modest improvement in pain and function with no adverse effects. (2) Compared with recent reports of the opioid epidemic and the risk of oral steroids (3), no adverse effects is big! Richmond back pain sufferers have hope! The other is an editorial comment by a prominent medical doctor, Richard Deyo MD, who concurs that spinal manipulation for acute low back pain is fitting and delivers at least equal if not better results than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). (4) Johnson Chiropractic mentions that Richmond chiropractic care with Cox Technic is evidence-based and gentle and safe.
Medicine knows that back pain is widespread and life-disrupting. Drugs are short term help that may turn into long term trouble. Surgery is appropriate for some back pain sufferers whose conditions necessitate it – progressive neurological deficit and/or cauda equina syndrome among others in most cases. Fortunately, most Richmond back pain doesn’t demand such intervention and can be cared for conservatively.
