The WORLDWIDE Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is excited to offer chiropractic services in
West Des Moines and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the leading
medical journals, published a series of pieces
on the sad state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous problem 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” if its providers put into
practice guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order excessive x-rays, follow evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date
of the most recent research (and even participating
in research when possible!). Chiropractic is known
for its reputation in treating back pain. It needs to find its way into mainstream
healthcare to help more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is creating27 toolkits for chiropractors to participate more with public health communities and be of greater
assistance to patients and communities within
the health system as valued partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is
grateful for this sponsorship and foreshight
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this West Des Moines
chiropractic practice of Executive Chiropractic of Iowa aims to do here in
West Des Moines.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his West Des Moines patient care to help ease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa may find value in wearing a lumbar back belt. New research reveals
that a lumbar support belt doesn’t certainly
result in muscle weakness but rather improves
walking distance ability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, drops pain and fear of pain,
decreases use of pain medications, and fosters
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) Great benefits! Your chiropractor carefully considers
when and if to recommend back braces for each individual West Des Moines
back pain patient as he or she heals with West Des Moines
chiropractic care, understanding the advantages
back braces may provide along the way.
