Continued Manahawkin Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain Management
Regular Manahawkin chiropractic care. A good idea? Yes! Consider other good regular care ideas: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings a couple times a year to keep plaque at bay. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to make an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to maintain optimal health for the body. Nutritionists recommend proper food intake daily: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to feed the body well. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association. (1,2) Chiropractors recommend spinal manipulation treatments regularly, too, not necessarily every day once the pain is under control, but regularly to keep in check spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center treats many Manahawkin chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Manahawkin chiropractic patients who choose such care to maintain healthy and pain-free spines as best they can.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience no less than one episode of back pain in our lifetime. One in 3 of us has back pain right now. Back pain comes and goes, not typically disappearing forever, depending on activities. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center often tells patients that the existing episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It will not be disregarded. Your spine will value an effective treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to maintain its mobility and health.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Surely our Manahawkin chiropractic patients realize that chiropractic care alleviates back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also understand that they don’t want to suffer with that pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain will not come back, preventing pain and/or its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do everyday activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A new study titled the Nordic Maintenance Care Program stated that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that reduced activities and boosted the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well facilitate patients’ and doctors’ realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, doesn’t avert new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers with recurrent and persistent low back pain.
