Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are worrying. Chiropractic care extends relieving care to both military and non-military folks correspondingly. Current studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans revealed benefits of chiropractic care to which Groton chiropractic care patients can connect: improvement in pain, strength, and dealing with pain. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is the Groton chiropractic pain and stress relief center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is at work to address veterans’ needs. Medicine is at the front in the VA care system while many veterans are venturing outside that system for additional care. A national study of veterans discovered that 52% employed complementary and integrated health approaches to deal with their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation leading the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% reported they are interested in trying at least one of these options: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were far more likely to use these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are like you! They seek Groton chiropractic care outside the routine system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers lose their strength and quality of life. Chiropractic care can frequently help. Veterans particularly suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which complicates their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system takes into consideration these overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to fastidiously diagnose and manage PTSD veterans to be sure they are getting all the necessary care. (2) Your Groton chiropractor considers each of our Groton back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to optimize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome all back pain sufferers want is to perform activities of daily living as they want and need. Back pain is notorious for interfering with daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are key daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were sent to chiropractic care or a wait list for four weeks. The chiropractic patients increased their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength dropped by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all got better with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some relief. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the last 30 days. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office uses such pain reducing, strength growing care for Groton back pain sufferers, too!
