BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggestions and recommendations run the gamut. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows. Everyone from friends, family members, researchers, doctors, etc., have thoughts and stories. In light of the variability 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. (1) We agree. We study the research and mingle it with our clinical experience to develop a personalized treatment plan for our back pain patients. With the expected 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 recent paper was just published 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 found 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 an encouraging outcome of a treatment approach to incorporate into the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Groton chiropractic patients do to limit their back pain and its effect on their lives? Sleep. Keep active. Undergo spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain sufferers listed that more sleep, less sedentariness, and more moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity was beneficial. The authors described an example of how swapping 30 minutes of sedentary behavior for 30 minutes of sleep lessened low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is vital! (4) So too is a visit to the Groton chiropractor for spinal manipulation as recommended in the guidelines published by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain together with exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is experienced in delivering gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, creating an easy exercise plan, and referring out for therapy and/or more advance rehab as necessary or wanted. Trust us to help! Our Groton back pain patients are in good hands.
