Continued Georgetown Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain Management
Regular Georgetown chiropractic care. A helpful idea? Yep! Consider other helpful regular care concepts: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings a couple times annually to keep plaque away. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend exercising at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to have 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 a good diet daily: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to nourish the body properly. 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 daily once the pain is under control, but on a regular schedule to keep in check spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Dr. Butwell treats many Georgetown chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Georgetown chiropractic patients who choose such care to keep their spines as healthy and pain-free as possible.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will experience no less than one episode of back pain in our lifetime. A third of us has back pain this moment. Back pain is known to wax and wane not disappear for life. Dr. Butwell often tells patients that the current episode of back pain is getting your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It won’t be disregarded. Your spine will be grateful for an effective treatment plan to get rid of 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 Georgetown chiropractic patients know 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 such pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain won’t come back, keeping that pain at bay and/or keeping its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A new study titled the Nordic Maintenance Care Program reported 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 help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, does not avert new episodes necessarily, but it’s a plan to reduce life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
