Executive Chiropractic of Iowa Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain is not picky. Back pain may choose any of us at any time whether we are stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for helping back pain sufferers continues to grow in the civilian and veteran/military care systems. The newer interest has been how much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa follows this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian West Des Moines back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will experience back pain at some time in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million work days were reportedly lost in one year due to back pain. (1) West Des Moines chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often curbs their independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that combined chiropractic and primary care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over primary care alone. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees these same outcomes for our West Des Moines back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who utilized only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced overall costs of care, shorter occurrences of back pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a threefold bonus for West Des Moines back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans get 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 sets out 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 documented 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 intensity and disability was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that incorporates chiropractic is suggested to be beneficial. (6) The aim of West Des Moines chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and military alike – is back pain relief. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is prepared to provide that!
