If you suffer with back pain, you want a quick fix. One treatment. Someone else to fix it. Done. Like most things in life, it is not that easy. Each of us has to take part in our lives and our recoveries. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor has a partnering chiropractic treatment plan that can lead to back pain and/or neck pain relief. Are you ready?

LOW BACK PAIN CHIROPRACTIC CARE: NON-INVASIVE, PAIN RELIEVING

First of all, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic recognizes that there are many back pain relief options. In an attempt to determine what options works in taking care of acute and chronic low back pain, researchers analyzed randomized control trials, systematic reviews and well-written clinical guidelines in an attempt to make some sense of all the options: general behavior, pharmacological therapy, psychological therapy, specfic exercise, active rehab and education, manual therapy, physical modalities, and invasive procedures. There are lots of options! Evenutally, manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and massage for acute and chronic low back pain were strongly to marginally recommended, receiving scores of A to C. Further, spinal  manipulation was  reinforced by three high-quality trials, one systemic review (SR), plus two clinical guidelines for acute low back pain.  For chronic LBP, four higher quality trials, two SRs, as well as  four clinical guidelines reported evidence to show pain improvement with spinal manipulation. In addition, three  moderate quality trials supported pain improvement with chiropractic approaches for treating chronic LBP. Among many other findings, this one particularly stood out though: Of the numerous clinical trials with many types of invasive treatments, there was insufficient evidence for surgery as a treatment of chronic low back pain. (1) There are times that back surgery is necessary, and your chiropractor knows this and works toegether with spinal surgeons. For many, Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic provides non-invasive care of acute and chronic low back pain. A great starting place!

Fort Wayne BACK PAIN: SMT + EXERCISE

A combined effort toward back pain relief produces results. 241 low back pain patients were randomized to three combinations of care: spinal manipulation (SMT) twice weekly for 3 weeks with multifidus activating exercise or spinal mobilizing exercise or more SMT sessions. Significant differences were noted for those patients in the SMT plus multifidus activating exercise group. Low back pain and its management is many-faceted. This one study was able to show positive effects with SMT plus multifidus strengthening exercises. (2) Let us talk about at-home exercise to optimize your relief.

Fort Wayne NECK PAIN: SMT + EXERCISE

What about neck pain? A combined approach works with it also. Regarding neck pain and upper cervical rotation restriction, patients who received manual therapy and did cervical exercises at home showed significantly better outcomes in disability, pain, and function. Four 20-minute manual therapy sessions plus exercise and an at-home exercise routine proved superior to  exercise alone and a home-exercise program.  Neck disability indices, flexion-rotation tests, pain intensities, and more got better. (3) So do your exercises we recommend! They really do make a difference. Layering treatment with personal care works.
