Continued Carrolltown Chiropractic Care Benefits Back Pain Management
Regular Carrolltown chiropractic care. A good idea? Yep! Consider other helpful regular care concepts: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly monitor their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice annually to keep plaque at bay. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend performing at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to make an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to keep the body in tune. Nutritionists recommend proper food intake daily: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to nourish the body properly. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association. (1,2) Chiropractors recommend spinal manipulation treatments regularly, too, not necessarily daily once the pain is under control, but on a regular schedule to prevent spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation cares for many Carrolltown chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Carrolltown chiropractic patients who choose such care to maintain healthy and pain-free spines as best they can.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience at least one episode of back pain in our lifetime. One in 3 of us has back pain this moment. Back pain comes and goes, not typically disappearing forever, depending on activities. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation often advises patients that the existing episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It won’t be ignored. Your spine will welcome an effective treatment plan to get rid of the pain as well as a plan to keep it mobile and healthy.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Carrolltown chiropractic patients understand that chiropractic care relieves back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know that they don’t want to suffer with that pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain won’t come back, preventing pain and/or its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A new study called the Nordic Maintenance Care Program stated that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that restrained activities and increased the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, doesn’t avert new episodes necessarily, but it’s a plan to reduce life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
