May 16, 2017

Geriatric back pain patients find relief with combined chiropractic care: spinal manipulation and mobilization plus exercise. That’s what new best practices guidelines recommend. Shocked? Of course not! Your Plainville chiropractor takes care of your spine, and you take care of your spine! Together, your Plainville chiropractor and you the Plainville back pain sufferer create a great spine care team. Layden Chiropractic is your local Plainville chiropractic care center where Plainville back pain patients meet their Plainville chiropractor to design a treatment plan to relieve pain as well as future back pain prevention plan.

A recent high-level research review reiterates that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. Layden Chiropractic appreciates this verification! How did they do this? Researchers reviewed all published articles from 7 years to update current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesreview and update. Conclusively, they agreed on current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of back pain in older adults. They reinforced the existing statement about the safety of spinal manipulation for older back pain patients. The panel added two supplementary notes of advice that (1) chiropractors should suggest exercise to back pain patients who are older and (2) manipulation and mobilization contribute to general positive outcomes beyond pain reduction. (1) Layden Chiropractic concurs! Plainville chiropractic patients often seek care that will decrease their back pain. Then, they find Plainville chiropractic care that goes beyond just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care allows them to embrace a healthier approach to life.

This chiropractic care starts with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation method Layden Chiropractic uses is known as Cox Technic. From the research studies about this approach, it’s known that radiculopathy (leg pain), chronic moderate/severe back pain and recurrent mild back pain (pain than comes and goes) respond more favorably to chiropractic Cox Technic than to medical conservative care. This study also showed that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – responds better to exercise. (2) Layden Chiropractic recognizes that exercise is crucial to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. Layden Chiropractic encourages all our Plainville chiropractic patients to exercise.
