The Path of Ashburn and Herndon Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care
You experience a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Are you curious about what that means going forward? Of course! The trajectory – researchers’ term for the path of back pain – of the Ashburn and Herndon back pain experience is unique to each, but there are factors that may help foretell that course. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares a few ideas on the effect of lifestyle and chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to influence the path of back pain. Patients undergoing chiropractic care for their chronic (more than 3 months) and acute (less than a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 1 and 3 months of care. Particularly, acute back pain patients who reported experiencing more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered more quickly. Most patients with lumbar radicular leg pain bettered. Both chronic and acute back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) A similar study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients documented that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients cared with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees even greater outcomes with our particular form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
A question arises: why stop chiropractic care with pain relief? Researchers documented that low back pain patients who have chiropractic maintenance care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis regardless of their symptoms – experienced fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care on a regular basis seems positive.
WHAT TO DO – More Activity
More is not always better, but some types of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain patient with a lifetime history of back pain may want to try engaging in higher volumes of moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was shown to lower the odds of developing severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows none of us back pain sufferers enjoys hearing that, but it is the finding of one study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Understand too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately raises the odds of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let us at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn discover that with you, the spot that inhibits back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
