BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
They run the gamut. Old Mill Chiropractic hears about them all the time. Everyone from friends, family members, researchers, doctors, others, have opinions and stories. In light of the inconsistency of back pain care recommendations, researchers suggest that the standardization of care for back pain - exercise, spinal manipulation and opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers most favorably. (1) We agree. We examin the research and mix it with our experience when developing an individualized treatment plan for our back pain patients. With the predicted growth of low back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people around the world to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug, non-surgical options for back pain are welcome, especially ones that are tested and documented to be beneficial. A a newly published paper regarding the care for a specific type of back pain - continued back pain after back surgery known as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) - that often results in continued or increased opioid pain medication use. The study stated that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression Manipulation reported decreased or discontinued use of opioids in the course of an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That’s a positive outcome of a treatment approach to incorporate into the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
