The Path of Richmond Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care

You experience a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Are you curious about what that means going forward? Of course! The trajectory – researchers’ name for the course of back pain – of the Richmond back pain experience is unique to each, but there are issues that may help predict that course. Johnson Chiropractic shares some input on the influence of lifestyle and chiropractic care.

WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic

A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to impact the course of back pain. Patients who undergo chiropractic care for their chronic (over 3 months) and acute (less than a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 1 and 3 months of care. More specifically, acute back pain patients who reported experiencing more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered quicker. Most patients with lumbar radicular leg pain improved. Both chronic and acute back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) Another study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients recorded that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients treated with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Johnson Chiropractic sees even greater outcomes with our specific form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!

WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic

A question arises: why stop chiropractic care with pain relief? A study demonstrated that low back pain patients who have chiropractic maintenance carechiropractic treatments on a regular basis regardless of their symptoms – reported fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Richmond chiropractic care on a regular basis looks positive.

WHAT TO DO – More Activity

More is not always better, but some types of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain patient with a lifetime history of back pain may want to try participating in more moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was found to lower the odds of extending severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Johnson Chiropractic knows none of us back pain sufferers enjoys hearing that, but it’s the finding of one study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Understand too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately increases the risk of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let us at Johnson Chiropractic discover that with you, the spot that inhibits back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
