BACK PAIN RELIEF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggestions and recommendations run the gamut. Vancouver Disc Centers hears about them all the time. Everyone from friends, family members, researchers, doctors, others, have opinions and stories. In light of the inconsistency of back pain care recommendations, researchers suggest that the standardization of care for back pain - exercise, spinal manipulation and opioid prescriptions – that may benefit back pain sufferers optimally. (1) We concur. We study the research and mix it with our clinical experience to develop a personalized treatment plan for our back pain patients. With the expected growth of low back pain through 2050 – from 619 million people around the world to more than 800 million (2) – effective, research-documented, non-drug, non-surgical options for back pain are welcome, particularly ones that are tested and documented as beneficial. A a newly published paper regarding the care for one type of back pain - continued back pain after back surgery also called failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) - that often develops into continued or increased opioid pain medication use. The study reported that FBSS patients treated with Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression Manipulation reported reduction or discontinuation of opioid use during an initial 3-month course of treatment. (3) That is an encouraging outcome of a treatment approach to incorporate into the standardized back pain treatment recommendations!
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
So what can our Vancouver chiropractic patients do to control their back pain and its effect on their lives? Sleep. Keep active. Get to their appointments for spinal manipulation. Feedback from 2333 back pain sufferers noted that additional sleep, less sedentariness, and more moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity was beneficial. The authors shared an example of how swapping 30 minutes of sedentary behavior for 30 minutes of sleep reduced low back pain frequency odds by 5% and pain intensity by 2%. Sleep is important! (4) So too is a visit to the Vancouver chiropractor for spinal manipulation as it is listed in the recommendations by the American College of Physicians and The American Pain Society as having good evidence of effectiveness for low back pain together with exercise, CBT, and rehabilitation. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers is experienced in providing gentle, safe spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic protocols, creating a simple exercise plan, and referring out for therapy and/or more advance rehab as necessary or desired. Trust us to help! Our Vancouver back pain patients are in good hands.
