Continued Groton Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain Management
Regular Groton chiropractic care. A good idea? Yep! Consider other good regular care concepts: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice annually to keep plaque at bay. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend performing at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to make an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to keep the body in tune. Nutritionists recommend proper food intake a day: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to nourish the body properly. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association. (1,2) Chiropractors recommend spinal manipulation treatments regularly, too, not necessarily daily once the pain is under control, but on a regular schedule to prevent spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office treats many Groton chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Groton chiropractic patients who choose such care to keep their spines as healthy and pain-free as possible.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience no less than one episode of back pain in our lifetime. One in 3 of us has back pain this moment. Back pain comes and goes, not typically disappearing forever, depending on activities. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office often tells patients that the current episode of back pain is getting your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is begging for care. It will not be disregarded. Your spine will appreciate an effective treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to maintain its mobility and health.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That is where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Groton chiropractic patients realize that chiropractic care relieves back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also understand that they don’t want to suffer with such pain again! While there is no guarantee that back pain or neck pain will not come back, keeping that pain at bay and/or keeping its return to as mild as possible is a worthwhile goal as is a goal to be able to do everyday activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A new study called the Nordic Maintenance Care Program found that such chiropractic maintenance care decreased the number of days of bothersome pain that limited activities and improved the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, doesn’t stop new episodes necessarily, but it’s a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers with recurrent and persistent low back pain.
