Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Fernandina Beach Back Pain Relief
“Chronic” – not a term associated with good or happiness, is it? Chronic low back pain is on-going back pain of at least 3 months’ duration that just will not stop. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic invites aggravated, hurting chronic low back pain sufferers of all ages. Our gentle Fernandina Beach chiropractic service is often relieving, bringing hope for a better day ahead.
GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC
Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic witness the relief of pain and return of function. Some publish their results for all 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 described relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient reported dealing with this pain for decades. In 4 weeks and 4 visits of flexion distraction treatment together with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he reported improvement in his condition, decreased 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 Role
Chronic low back pain like that explained by the veteran in this case report is very prevalent 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 effect of repeated nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is thought to contribute to chronicity of pain. Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well stem from its influence on this sensitization. (4) That’s a benefit chronic back pain sufferers can tolerate.
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 stated that spinal manipulation effected similar effects to other suggested therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was superior to non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, passing adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis concluded that spinal manipulation appeared to be a good option for pain relief and function improvement for chronic low back pain sufferers. (6) In a meta-analysis of specifically older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same deductions were found: spinal manipulation should be considered a beneficial treatment for the older chronic low back pain sufferer 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic researched and learned more about the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust type of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well know for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain in addition to more usual spinal pain conditions.
