BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggestions and recommendations run the gamut.
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows. Everyone from
friends, family members, researchers, doctors, others, have opinions
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
optimally. (1) We concur. We examin
the research and mingle it with our clinical experience to develop a personalized treatment
plan for our back pain patients. With the expected 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 documented to be beneficial. A new
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 develops into continued or increased opioid
pain medication use. The study found
that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression
Manipulation reported decreased or discontinued
use of opioids in the course
of an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That’s a positive outcome of a treatment approach to include in the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Montreal chiropractic patients do
to control their back pain and its effect on their lives?
Sleep. Keep active. Makes their appointments for spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain
sufferers listed that more 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 reduced
low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is important!
(4) So too is a visit to the Montreal chiropractor for spinal
manipulation as it is listed in the recommendations
by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having
good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain together with
exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is experienced in providing
gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, designing
a simple exercise plan, and recommending
therapy and/or more advance rehab as necessary or desired.
