BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
They run the gamut.
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn hears about them all the time. Everyone from
friends, family members, researchers, doctors, etc., have ideas
and stories. In light of the wide range of back
pain care recommendations, researchers suggest that the standardization
of care for back pain - exercise, spinal manipulation and
opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers
most favorably. (1) We agree. We read
the research and mingle it with our clinical experience to develop an individualized treatment
plan for our back pain patients. With the predicted growth of low
back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people around the world
to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug,
non-surgical choices for back pain are welcome, especially
ones that are tried and verified as being beneficial. A recent
paper was just published regarding
the care for a specific type of back pain - continued back pain after
back surgery known as failed back surgery syndrome
(FBSS) - that often results in continued or increased opioid
pain medication use. The study reported
that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression
Manipulation described reduction or discontinuation of opioid use in the course
of an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That is an
encouraging outcome of a treatment approach to incorporate
into the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Ashburn chiropractic patients do
to limit their back pain and its effect on their lives?
Sleep. Keep active. Makes their appointments for spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain
sufferers noted that additional sleep, less sedentariness,
and more moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity was
beneficial. The authors shared an example of how swapping 30
minutes of sedentary behavior for 30 minutes of sleep lessened
low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is vital!
(4) So too is a visit to the Ashburn chiropractor for spinal
manipulation as recommended in the guidelines published
by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having
good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain along with
exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is experienced in providing
gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, creating
