You experience a bout of back pain – first,
second, tenth. Do you wonder what that means going
forward? Of course! The trajectory – researchers’ name
for the path of back pain – of the Orchard Park, NY back pain
experience is unique to each, but there are factors
that may help predict that course. Novelli Wellness Center offers
a few ideas on the influence of lifestyle and
chiropractic care.
WHAT TO DO – Chiropractic
A new article’s findings make seeking chiropractic care
logical to influence the path of back pain. Patients
undergoing chiropractic care for their chronic (over 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 1 and 3 months of care.
Particularly, acute back pain patients who reported having
more severe pain and disability in the beginning of care
recovered more quickly. Most
patients with lumbar radicular leg pain improved. 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) Novelli Wellness Center
sees even greater outcomes with our particular form
of chiropractic care, Cox® Technic!
WHAT TO DO – More Chiropractic
So why stop chiropractic
care with pain relief? Researchers documented that
low back pain patients who experienced chiropractic maintenance
care – chiropractic treatments on a regular basis unrelated to whether they
had symptoms – reported fewer
days of low back pain that limited their activities of daily living contrasted
with getting treatment only when a new low back pain episode arose. (3) More Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic care on a regular basis seems beneficial.
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 sufferer
with a lifetime history of back pain may want to consider participating
in higher volumes of moderate to vigorous physical activity since it
was shown to reduce the odds of developing
severe low back pain over the following year. (4) Novelli Wellness Center knows
none of us back pain sufferers wants to hear that,
but it’s the finding of a study. More intense exercise
was shown beneficial. Understand too that a sedentary lifestyle –
work and/or pleasure time – moderately raises the risk
of low back pain. (5) There is a middle ground! Let’s at
Novelli Wellness Center find that with you, the spot that prevents
back pain and allows you to be as active as you want to be.
