Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain is not choosy. Back pain may find any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home workers or out-in-the-world people, active military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for aiding back pain sufferers persists and grows in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The more recent interest has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation follows this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian Carrolltown 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 documented to be lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Carrolltown chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact get low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often limits their independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that combined chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their back pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over primary care only. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees these same outcomes for our Carrolltown back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain who also have other medical issues who utilized 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 briefer time at less expense…a threefold bonus with Carrolltown 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 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 sets out 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 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 inserted into usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability and intensity was reported. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim of Carrolltown chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is prepared to deliver that!
