The Path of Auburn Back Pain Contained with Chiropractic Care
You experience a bout of back pain – first, second, tenth. Are you curious about what that means going forward? Certainly, you are! The trajectory – researchers’ name for the path of back pain – of the Auburn back pain experience is unique to each, but there are factors that may help forecast that course. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. shares some input on the effect of lifestyle and chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care logical to contain the course of back pain. Patients undergoing chiropractic care for their chronic (more than 3 months) and acute (under a month) low back pain who reported “much better” or “better” at one week of care were 4 to 5 times more likely to report improvement at 30 days and 90 days of care. Particularly, acute back pain patients who reported experiencing more severe pain and disability at the start of care recovered faster. The majority of patients with lumbar radicular leg pain bettered. Both chronic and acute back pain patients reported good outcomes. (1) A similar study of the interdisciplinary care (spine surgeons/chiropractors in a university hospital) of chronic back pain patients recorded that almost half of the chronic low back pain patients cared with chiropractic conservative care reported clinically relevant improvement. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. sees even better outcomes with our particular form of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
So why stop chiropractic care with pain relief? A study demonstrated that low back pain patients who underwent chiropractic maintenance care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis regardless of their symptoms – had fewer days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living compared with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Auburn chiropractic care on a regular basis seems positive.
WHAT TO DO – More Activity
More is not always better, but some types of more are better, like chiropractic and activity. A low back pain patient with a lifetime history of back pain may want to consider participating in more moderate to vigorous physical activity since it was shown to reduce the odds of extending severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows none of us back pain sufferers enjoys hearing that, but it’s the finding of one study. More intense exercise was shown beneficial. Understand too that a sedentary lifestyle – work and/or pleasure time – moderately raises the odds of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let us at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uncover that with you, the spot that prevents back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
