The Path of Concord, NC Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care
You experience a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Are you curious about what that means going forward? Certainly, you are! The trajectory – researchers’ name for the path of back pain – of the Concord, NC back pain experience is unique to each, but there are factors that may help forecast that course. Pure Chiropractic offers a few ideas on the influence of lifestyle and chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to contain the path of back pain. Patients undergoing chiropractic care for their chronic (over 3 months) and acute (less than a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 1 and 3 months of care. More specifically, acute back pain patients who reported experiencing more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered quicker. The majority of patients with lumbar radicular leg pain improved. Both chronic and acute back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) Another study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients recorded that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients cared with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Pure Chiropractic sees even greater outcomes with our particular form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
A question arises: why stop chiropractic care with pain relief? A study demonstrated that low back pain patients who have chiropractic maintenance care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis unrelated to whether they had symptoms – had fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Concord, NC chiropractic care on a regular basis seems beneficial.
WHAT TO DO – More Activity
More is not always better, but some types of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain sufferer with a lifetime history of back pain may want to try participating in higher volumes of moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was found to lower the odds of developing severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Pure Chiropractic knows none of us back pain sufferers enjoys hearing that, but it’s the finding of a study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Know too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately increases the odds of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let’s at Pure Chiropractic uncover that with you, the spot that inhibits back pain and keeps you active as you want to be.
