LOW BACK PAIN CHIROPRACTIC CARE: NON-INVASIVE, PAIN RELIEVING
First of all, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation admits that there are many options available. In an attempt to figure out what options works in taking care of acute and chronic low back pain, researchers analyzed randomized control trials, systematic reviews and well-written clinical guidelines to try to sort through all the options: general behavior, pharmacological therapy, psychological therapy, specfic exercise, active rehab and education, manual therapy, physical modalities, and invasive procedures. There are lots of approaches! In the end, manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and massage for acute and chronic low back pain were strongly to marginally recommended, receiving scores of A to C. Further, spinal manipulation was reinforced by three high-quality trials, one systemic review (SR), plus two clinical guidelines for acute low back pain. For chronic LBP, four higher quality trials, two SRs, and four clinical guidelines reported evidence to support pain improvement with spinal manipulation. In addition, three moderate quality trials supported pain improvement with chiropractic means for treating chronic LBP. Among many other discoveries, this one really stood out though: Of the many clinical trials with a variety of invasive treatments, there was insufficient evidence for surgery as a treatment of chronic low back pain. (1) There are times that back surgery is necessary, and your chiropractor knows this and works toegether with spinal surgeons. For many, Tonawanda chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation features non-invasive care of acute and chronic low back pain. A great starting place!
Tonawanda BACK PAIN: SMT + EXERCISE
A combined effort for back pain relief produces results. 241 low back pain patients were randomized to three combinations of care: spinal manipulation (SMT) twice a week for 3 weeks with multifidus activating exercise or spinal mobilizing exercise or additional SMT sessions. Significant differences were noted for those patients in the SMT plus multifidus activating exercise group. Low back pain and its management is multi-factorial. This one study was able to document positive effects with SMT plus multifidus strengthening exercises. (2) We will talk about at-home exercise to boost your relief.
Tonawanda NECK PAIN: SMT + EXERCISE
What about neck pain? A combined approach works with it too. Regarding neck pain and upper cervical rotation restriction, patients who received manual therapy and did cervical exercises at home showed significantly better outcomes in disability, pain, and function. Four 20-minute manual therapy sessions plus exercise and an at-home exercise routine proved superior to exercise alone and a home-exercise program. Neck disability indices, flexion-rotation tests, pain intensities, and more improved. (3) So do your exercises we recommend! They really do make a difference. Layering treatment with personal care works.
