Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Manahawkin Back Pain Relief
“Chronic” – not a term that sounds very happy or good, is it? Chronic low back pain is long-lasting back pain that goes on for more than 3 months that just won’t quit. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center invites aggravated, hurting chronic low back pain patients of all ages. Our gentle Manahawkin chiropractic service is often pain-lessening, bringing hope for a more comfortable day.
GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC
Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center see the pain relief and function improvement. Some publish their results for all to see! A newly published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and pain extending down his right leg occasionally documented relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient reported dealing with this pain for decades. In 4 weeks and 4 visits of flexion distraction treatment along with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he reported improvement in his condition, reduced pain medication usage, and enhanced mobility. (1) That’s a welcome outcome for this back pain sufferer!
WHAT’S UP WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN? Spinal Manipulation’s Help
Chronic low back pain like that explained by the veteran in this case report is very common and can be quite disabling. Spinal manipulation is recommended for the management of chronic low back in quite a few guidelines backed 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 purported to play a role in chronicity of pain. Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well come from its influence on this sensitization. (4) That is an advantage chronic back pain sufferers can accept.
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 recommended therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was superior to non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, fleeting adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis concluded 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 reported: spinal manipulation should be thought to be a beneficial treatment for the older patient with chronic low back pain for pain relief and function improvement. (7) Most spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center researched and learned more about the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust type of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well recognized for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain as well as more common spinal pain conditions.
