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. The reputation of chiropractic for aiding back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is best 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 get back pain at some point
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million
work days were reportedly lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Largo chiropractic care is made
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
get 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 resulted in modest improvements in their back
pain and disability 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 who also experience other medical issues who utilized
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
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 with Largo chiropractic care for
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
experience 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 recently proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain seeks
to see if low dose (1 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 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 similar 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 documented.
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!
