Johnson Chiropractic Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain is not picky. Back pain may choose any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world people, active military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for relieving back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military care systems. The more recent curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Johnson Chiropractic keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian Richmond 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) Richmond chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly experience low back pain each year. 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 combined chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over just primary care. (2) Johnson Chiropractic witnesses these same outcomes for our Richmond 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 occurrences of back pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a threefold bonus with Richmond chiropractic care for back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans struggle with back pain and get relief with chiropractic care. Chiropractic is well-integrated into the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. A recently 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 (eight to twelve visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial 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 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 disability and intensity was reported. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The goal of Richmond chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Johnson Chiropractic is prepared to provide that!
