Hollstrom & Associates Inc Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may choose any of us at any time whether we’re stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world people, active military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for helping 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 optimal for back pain relief. Hollstrom & Associates Inc keeps track of this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian Largo back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some time in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million work days were reportedly lost in one year due to back pain. (1) Largo chiropractic care is designed to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly experience low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their independence and increases the number of doctor visits they have. A study that combined primary care with chiropractic care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over primary care alone. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees these same outcomes for our Largo back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who utilized only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower overall costs of care, shorter episodes of back pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a triple bonus for Largo 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 care. 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 documented 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 added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was reported. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim of Largo chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is prepared to deliver that!
