Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Fort Wayne Back Pain Relief
“Chronic” – not a term associated with good or happiness, is it? Chronic low back pain is on-going back pain that goes on for more than 3 months that just will not quit. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic invites frustrated, hurting chronic low back pain patients of all ages. Our gentle Fort Wayne chiropractic service is often relieving, delivering hope for a more comfortable day.
GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC
Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic witness the relief of pain and return of function. Some publish their outcomes for all to see! A newly published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and pain extending down his right leg occasionally described relief with Cox® Technic care. The patient reported experiencing this pain for decades. In 4 weeks and 4 visits of flexion distraction treatment together with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he stated improvement in his condition, less pain medication use, and enhanced mobility. (1) That is a welcome outcome for this back pain sufferer!
WHAT’S UP WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN? Spinal Manipulation’s Help
Chronic low back pain like that explained by the veteran in this case report is very common and can be quite distressing. Spinal manipulation is recommended for the management of chronic low back in many guidelines backed by such groups as the American Pain Society and the American College of Pain Physicians. (2,3) With chronic low back pain, central sensitization – the effect of repetitive nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is thought to contribute to chronicity of pain. Spinal manipulation’s benefit may well come from its impact on this sensitization. (4) That is a benefit chronic back pain sufferers can accept.
SPINAL MANIPULATION BETTER FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN…REGARDLESS OF AGE
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (47 RCTs and 9211 participants) of spinal manipulation treatment for chronic low back pain described that spinal manipulation generated similar effects to other suggested therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was superior to non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, fleeting adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis determined that spinal manipulation looked to be a good option for relief of pain and improvement of function for chronic low back pain sufferers. (6) In a meta-analysis specifically focused on older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same conclusions were drawn: spinal manipulation should be thought to be a beneficial treatment for the older patient with chronic low back pain for pain relief and function improvement. (7) Most spinal manipulation is rendered by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic studied extra in the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust form of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well know for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain in addition to more usual spinal pain conditions.
