Why Auburn Chiropractic Care is Designed for Your Unique Back Pain Experience

Taking that first step into a chiropractor's office when suffering with chronic back pain can feel a bit nerve wrecking. Maybe your symptoms don't match what you have read online, or perhaps you're curious if you're pursuing the right type of care. Let us ease your concern: you're exactly where you are supposed to be.

A very new research study research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research: Spine reveals just how different chronic low back pain presentations really are. (1) The study by Piva and colleagues analyzed chronic low back pain sufferers and found an extraordinary difference in how people describe their pain. This research verifies what chiropractors have long known – chronic back pain doesn't always follow a one-size-fits-all pattern.

The study documented the wide range of demographic and biomedical characteristics among chronic low back pain patients, showing that your unique presentation is absolutely normal. Whether your pain is constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, localized or radiating you're not alone – this is simply how back pain works.

Interestingly, the chiropractic profession is is committed to measuring and improving how well treatments workis dedicated to studying what works best for patients like you. A comprehensive scoping review published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies by Carmichael and colleagues examined chiropractic clinical outcomes registries. (2) These sophisticated systems track patient outcomes and continuously boost care quality.

This research shows that chiropractic care is incorporating evidence-based practice to safeguard effective treatment. Clinical outcomes registries track real patient results, helping chiropractors understand which treatments work best for different back pain presentations.

Rather than forcing your symptoms into a rigid diagnostic box, modern chiropractic care acknowledges that effective treatment must be personalized to your specific needs. One example of a clinical data collection of real patient outcomes was done for Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction which tracked clinical outcomes through studies like the 1000 cases study of patients with a variety of back pain diagnoses in the 1990s and the more recent study of patients experiencing continued back pain after back surgery. (3,4) Both gave real data for the number of visits and days to improvement for these back pain sufferers.
