Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Plainville Back Pain Relief
“Chronic” – not a term associated with good or happiness, is it? Chronic low back pain is long-lasting back pain that goes on for more than 3 months that just won’t quit. Layden Chiropractic invites aggravated, hurting chronic low back pain patients of all ages. Our gentle Plainville 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 Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic witness the relief of pain and return of function. Some publish their outcomes for all to see! A recently published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and occasional right leg pain documented relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient described having this pain for decades. After 4 visits in 4 weeks undergoing flexion distraction treatment along with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he described improvement in his condition, less pain medication use, and better mobility. (1) That’s a welcome outcome 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 common and can be very distressing. Spinal manipulation is endorsed 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 repeated nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is thought to have a role in chronicity of pain. Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well come from its effect 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 care for chronic low back pain reported that spinal manipulation effected 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, fleeting adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis determined 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 of specifically older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same deductions were drawn: spinal manipulation should be considered a beneficial treatment for the older chronic low back pain sufferer for pain relief and function improvement. (7) Most spinal manipulation is rendered by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Layden Chiropractic 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 care of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain as well as more usual spinal pain conditions.
