A new high-level research review restates that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. Dr. Butwell values this confirmation! How did they do this? The systematic review of all published articles over a 7 year period updated current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesreview and update. Conclusively, they agreed on current statements about the best practices for chiropractic care of back pain in older adults. They strengthened the present statement about how safe spinal manipulation is for older back pain patients. The panel added two supplementary notes of advice that (1) chiropractors should suggest exercise to back pain patients who are older and (2) manipulation and mobilization contribute to general positive outcomes not just for pain reduction. (1) Dr. Butwell concurs! Georgetown chiropractic patients frequently seek care to get rid of their back pain. Then, they find Georgetown chiropractic care that does more than just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care encourages them to embrace a healthier approach to life.
This chiropractic care starts with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation approach Dr. Butwell employs is known as Cox Technic. From the research studies about this approach, it’s published that radiculopathy (leg pain), chronic moderate/severe back pain and recurrent mild back pain (pain than comes and goes) react more favorably to chiropractic Cox Technic than to medical conservative care. This study also documented that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – reacts better to exercise. (2) Dr. Butwell recognizes that exercise is crucial to manage back pain and prevent future back pain. Dr. Butwell encourages all our Georgetown chiropractic patients to help themselves with exercise.
