Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Murfreesboro 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 won’t quit. Most Chiropractic Clinic invites frustrated, hurting chronic low back pain patients of all ages. Our gentle Murfreesboro chiropractic service is often relieving, delivering hope for a better day ahead.
GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC
Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Murfreesboro chiropractor at Most Chiropractic Clinic see the relief of pain and return of function. Some publish their outcomes for everyone to see! A recently published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and pain extending down his right leg occasionally recorded relief with Cox® Technic care. The patient described dealing with this pain for decades. In 4 weeks and 4 visits of flexion distraction treatment along with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he stated improvement in his condition, less pain medication use, and better mobility. (1) That is a welcome result for this back pain sufferer!
WHAT’S UP WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN? Spinal Manipulation’s Help
Chronic low back pain like that described by the veteran in this case report is quite common and can be very disabling. Spinal manipulation is recommended for the management of chronic low back in many guidelines supported 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 consequence of repetitive nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is purported to play a role in chronicity of pain. Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well come from its impact on this sensitization. (4) That’s a benefit chronic back pain sufferers can live with.
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 reported that spinal manipulation created similar effects to other suggested therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was better than non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, momentary adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis concluded that spinal manipulation looked to be a good alternative for pain relief and function improvement for chronic low back pain sufferers. (6) In a meta-analysis particularly focused on older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same deductions were drawn: spinal manipulation should be thought to be a positive treatment for the older patient with chronic low back pain to relieve pain and improve function. (7) Most spinal manipulation is done by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Most 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 common spinal pain conditions.
