Old Mill Chiropractic reveals these NEW back pain guidelines and recommendations:

 

 

For acute, subacute and chronic low back pain, the American College of Physicians recommends non-invasive, non-drug treatment of low back pain at any of these stages, specifically spinal manipulation among the recommendations. (1) St Peters chiropractic at Old Mill Chiropractic cares for St Peters back pain and St Peters neck pain issues at any stage. St Peters back pain responds well to the Cox Technic system of St Peters chiropractic care at Old Mill Chiropractic. It opens the spinal canal area by up to 28%, decreases  intradiscal pressures and improves spinal motion. Ready for non-drug, non-surgical back pain relief? Contact us!

 

 

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a review study of randomized clinical trials – high level research studies – about spinal manipulation for relief of acute back pain (back pain up to 6 weeks in duration). This review reports that spinal manipulation delivers modest improvement in pain and function with no serious adverse effects. (2)  

 

JAMA also printed an editorial by the well-known medical doctor and author, Richard Deyo, MD, about spinal manipulation for back pain referencing Paige’s study. The editorial explains that spinal manipulation treatment for acute low back pain is appropriate. Its use is in line with the American College of Physicians review and subsequent guideline. Spinal manipulation provides modest improvement in pain and function in the short-term in comparison with sham manipulation, usual care and other treatments. And of note, Deyo emphasizes that, of the trials reviewed by Paige et al and the American College of Physicians, none suggested that spinal manipulation care was less effective than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). SMT proved equal to or better than conventional care. (3) 

 

Cox Technic spinal manipulation as offered at Old Mill Chiropractic is well documented as to how it biomechanically and clinically improves back pain: days and visits to maximum improvement as well as the effects it has on spinal elements like disc pressures and spinal canal area. Your chiropractor provides this cutting edge, well-documented, and researched form of spinal manipulation.  Contact Old Mill Chiropractic for a St Peters chiropractic visit for back pain relief with spinal manipulative care.
