Chiropractic care is appropriate for low back pain
(1), and that’s
not just Executive Chiropractic of Iowa’s opinion.
This comes from published medical research!
Chiropractic care helps relieve
low back pain as well as related
leg pain. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
offers West Des Moines chiropractic care that is
non-surgical, relieving,
and gentle to West Des Moines back pain sufferers no matter who they are!
An interesting statistic came in the spine research this
week that orthopedic trauma surgeons experience low back pain as the number one
work-related musculoskeletal disorder they experience themselves (more than 66%
of them). What was the most common disorder? Low back pain (29.3%). (2) Unfortunately, the report doesn’t share
what those surgeons do for their low back pain. (Executive Chiropractic of Iowa would welcome
them right alongside all our other West Des Moines low back pain patients!) Do
they go to a fellow surgeon, or do they seek out spinal manipulation as published
guidelines recommend?
So, understandably from your West Des Moines chiropractor’s
perspective and experience, published guidelines recommend spinal manipulation.
The American Pain Society and the American College Of Physicians recommend spinal manipulation as primary care of low back
pain. The guidelines further point out that other approaches are not effective
(prolotherapy, facet joint injection, intradiscal steroid injection),
short-lived (epidural steroid injections), moderately effective for
post-surgical back pain (spinal cord stimulator), and beneficial short-term but
not long term versus non-surgical care (surgery for herniated disc with
radiculopathy). (3) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
would hope that surgeons would feel
right at home with all of our other West Des Moines low back pain patients.
The relieving West Des Moines chiropractic spinal manipulation treatment at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa doesn’t
discriminate. It is here to help West Des Moines low back pain sufferers.
Then this new consensus study just came out, too. It concludes
that the reviewed evidence supports that concept that “doctors of chiropractic
are well suited to diagnose, treat, co-manage, and manage the treatment of
patients with low back pain disorders”. (1) For us chiropractors who see
ourselves as back pain specialists, this is welcome news. Your
West Des Moines chiropractor feels up to the task of caring for the low back
pain patient, acute or chronic, the leg patient patient, the neck pain patient,
the arm pain patient. The chiropractic technique offered at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa,
Cox Technic, is well documented, researched and evidence-based to address all
of these issues. Its published results share the relief that patients of all
sorts find whether they are post-surgical with continued pain or have chronic
low back pain or acute low back pain. West Des Moines chiropractic patients
come from all walks of life.
Lastly, another study reveals that chiropractic is beneficial for
military folks, too. Chiropractors are being
integrated into the military and veteran health care facilities. As they are,
it’s found that their collaboration in the care of these patients focuses on reducing
morbidity and helping rehabilitate military personnel to full duty status. And
the patient satisfaction is high with the chiropractic services. (4)
West Des Moines chiropractic patients express their satisfaction with the
chiropractic care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa everyday,too!
