Continued Tonawanda chiropractic care helps keep back pain away.

WHY SEE YOUR CHIROPRACTOR AFTER THE PAIN IS RELIEVED? TO KEEP THE RELIEF!

Patients often ask how long they have to come for chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. In the end, their relief decides this. For some the end of care is figured out together, patient and the Tonawanda chiropractor. For others, when the pain is better, they quit coming. The patients make the decision themselves. And when there is no pain, it makes sense to stop care. However, there may be a special consideration: If back pain is bothersome and keeps you from doing the things you want to do, receiving chiropractic care on a regular basis (aka “maintenance care”) whether you are hurting or not is beneficial. In a randomized control trial of 319 such patients, maintenance care reduced the number of painful day in acute episodes and increased the timespan of pain-free days for back pain sufferers who have with recurrent and persistent low back pain. (1) Back pain is not often cured. It’s like a bruise on an apple. It will not simply go away. The bruise is now a more susceptible part of the apple. With back pain, the no-pain period is definitely refreshing, and continued chiropractic care via a Tonawanda chiropractic treatment plan designed together can only help prevent more and/or more painful back pain occurrences. Some patients ask for maintenance care after a few episodes of Tonawanda back pain. Some set up a schedule right away to avoid waiting for the pain and having to begin again. Whichever patient type you are, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is the Tonawanda chiropractic care partner to see!

Tonawanda exercise helps patients with non-specific back pain and pre-back surgery patients though it’s not often prescribed as much as opioids.

Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise Benefits Before Back Surgery and for Non-Specific Low Back Pain

A 16-week study of supervised resistance training with varying low, moderate and high intensity exercise throughout the week helped patients with persistent non-specific low back pain. How? By making better pain, daily function and disability, energy level, muscle strength, sleep, and perception of physical activity as helpful. (2) Those are positive outcomes! Unfortunately, in the year prior to back surgery, only 34.8% of back pain patients had physical therapy (PT), 34.1% had at least one PT visit with exercise, and just 14.6% experienced a minimum of 6 exercise therapy visits. 84.4% received at least one opioid prescription fill with a mean of 6.1 unique fills each. (3) Conservative, non-drug care combining spinal manipulation and exercise are worthwhile pre-back surgery efforts. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready to do this with you!
