The GLOBAL Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
It’s the time for chiropractic!
Johnson Chiropractic is excited to offer chiropractic services in
Richmond and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the leading
medical journals, presented a series of pieces
on the disappointing way8 healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous issue the world over and
growing worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a
major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low
back” as long as its providers follow guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, stick to evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep abreast
of the most recent research (and even participating
in research when able!). Chiropractic is known
for its reputation in caring for back pain. A place
for it needs to be made in mainstream
healthcare to relieve more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is developing toolkits for chiropractors to participate more with public health communities and be of more
service to patients and communities within
the health system as respected partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic is
grateful for this sponsorship and foreshight
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Richmond
chiropractic practice of Johnson Chiropractic strives to do here in
Richmond.
Check out this PODCAST
with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his Richmond patient care to help relieve
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Johnson Chiropractic may benefit
from wearing a lumbar back belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt doesn’t necessarily
result in muscle weakness but rather enheances
walking distance ability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
lessens use of pain medications, and improves
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) Great benefits! Your chiropractor carefully offers
when and if to recommend back braces for each individual Richmond
back pain patient as he or she gets better with Richmond
chiropractic care, understanding the benefits
back braces may give along the way.
