Old Mill Chiropractic 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 workers, active military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for relieving back pain sufferers persists and grows in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The more recent curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Old Mill Chiropractic follows this research since military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian St Peters back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some time in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million work days were reportedly lost in one year due to back pain. (1) St Peters chiropractic care is made 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 described as being debilitating as it often limits their independence and multiplies their doctor visits. A study that merged primary care with chiropractic 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 only. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic sees these same outcomes for our St Peters back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who employed 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 threefold bonus for St Peters 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 treatment. 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 (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 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 related finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that includes chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The goal of St Peters chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Old Mill Chiropractic is prepared to deliver that!
