Back pain isn’t picky. Back pain may
choose any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active
military people or veterans. The reputation of chiropractic for helping back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and military/veteran
care systems. The more recent interest has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre follows this research since
military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian
Toronto back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some point
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million
work days were reportedly lost in one year because of back pain. (1) Toronto chiropractic care is created
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact
experience low back pain annually. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their
independence and increases the number of doctor visits they
have. A study that merged primary care
with chiropractic care for their back pain brought
about modest improvements in their back
pain and disability and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over primary care alone. (2)
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees these same outcomes for our
Toronto back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain along with other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced
overall costs of care, shorter occurrences of back
pain, and decreased costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a shorter time at less expense…a threefold
bonus for Toronto
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
experience back pain and experience relief
with chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is well-integrated into
the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal
conditions. A recently proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain seeks
to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (8
to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is optimal
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management discovered in a study of 1000 back pain
patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to get patients maximally improved. (5))
A similar finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who
had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability
and intensity was documented.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves
chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The goal
of Toronto chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is prepared to deliver
that!
