CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our West Des Moines chiropractic patients know that chiropractic care alleviates back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know 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 daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study titled the Nordic Maintenance Care Program reported that such chiropractic maintenance care decreased the number of days of bothersome pain that reduced activities and improved the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well facilitate 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 reduce life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
