Most Chiropractic Clinic Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are taxing. Chiropractic care offers relieving care to both military and non-military folks alike. Current studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans uncovered benefits of chiropractic care to which Murfreesboro chiropractic care patients can connect: improvement in pain, strength, and coping with pain. Most Chiropractic Clinic is the Murfreesboro chiropractic pain and stress relieving center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is at work to address veterans’ needs. Medicine is forefront in the VA care system while many veterans are going outside that system for additional care. A national survey of veterans found that 52% employed complementary and integrated health approaches to manage their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation on top of the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% reported they are interested in trying at least one of these approaches: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were far more likely to try these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are like you! They pursue Murfreesboro chiropractic care outside the usual system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers find that their strength and quality of life decrease. Chiropractic care can oftentimes help. Veterans particularly suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which complicates their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system takes into consideration such overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to carefully diagnose and manage PTSD veterans to ensure they are getting all the necessary care. (2) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor considers each of our Murfreesboro back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to maximize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome sought by all back pain sufferers is to perform activities of daily living as they need and want. Back pain is known to reduce ability to daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are crucial daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were allocated to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients improved their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength reduced by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all got better with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some relief. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the last 30 days. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Most Chiropractic Clinic uses such pain reducing, strength increasing care for Murfreesboro back pain sufferers, too!
