Low back pain is among the most common complaints in Americans today. As many as one out of every five people experience low back pain as an adult. It’s important to find non-drug related options to relive this perturbing and prevalent condition. In the age of rampant opioid addiction, it is simply imperative to explore non-drug alternatives. According to the American College of Physicians, spinal manipulation is an effective therapy for many with back pain issues.
Many pregnant women have experienced serious back pain throughout the course of their pregnancy. It is common for women to experience some level of back pain while they are delivering their baby. During pregnancy, women must be careful regarding the medication that they take to relieve back pain. Many pregnant women have found relief from their back pain by visiting a chiropractor.
A new study suggests that chiropractic care is more effective than just medical care alone for patients of chronic back pain by reducing pain and disability. The study published on JAMA Network Open, performed a clinical trial among active US military in effort to determine whether chiropractic care along with medical care can provide better pain relief and improve function, other than just medical care. The participants selected were between 18 to 50 years old and suffered from chronic lower back pain. The clinical trial, which lasted six weeks allocated usual medical care with chiropractic care to 375 participants and just medical care alone to the other 375 participants. Chiropractic care includes spinal manipulation, rehab exercises, heat, cryotherapy and other therapies, which is how a full chiropractic care treatment is executed for regular patients. The results of the trial were measured by using rating scales. Participants who received the chiropractic care, were asked to measure themselves for lower back pain intensity and disability. For lower back pain 0 indicated no low back pain and 10 indicated the worst possible low back pain. And for disability, 0 indicated no disability and 24 indicated greater disability. Participants who just received medical care were measured for perceived improvement, 0 indicating not satisfied and 10 indicating extremely satisfied. The overall results when compared and adjusted for mean differences showed that participants who received medical and chiropractic care reported less pain and disability reported by participants who received only medical care. This demonstrated that chiropractic care can play a significant role in decreasing pain and improving function.
Did you know back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work? Whether you have a desk job or a job that requires a lot of physical activity, back pain is inevitable.
