That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Carrolltown chiropractic patients know that chiropractic care relieves back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also understand that they do not want to suffer with that pain again! While there is no guarantee that back pain or neck pain won’t come back, keeping that pain at bay and/or keeping its return to as mild as possible is a worthwhile 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 reduced activities and boosted the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well facilitate patients’ and doctors’ realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, does not stop new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers with recurrent and persistent low back pain.
