Continued Minster Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain Management
Regular Minster chiropractic care. A good idea? Yes! Consider other helpful regular care concepts: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings a couple times a year to keep plaque at bay. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend doing 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 feed the body well. 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 regularly to prevent spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Minster Chiropractic Center cares for many Minster chiropractic patients on a regular basis, Minster 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 at least one episode of back pain in our lifetime. A third of us experiences back pain this moment. Back pain is known to wax and wane not disappear for life. Minster Chiropractic Center often advises patients that the current episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It will not be ignored. Your spine will value an effective treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to maintain its mobility and health.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That is where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our Minster chiropractic patients understand that chiropractic care relieves back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know that they don’t want to suffer with such pain again! While there is no guarantee that back pain or neck pain won’t come back, preventing pain and/or its return to as mild as possible is a worthwhile goal as is a goal to be able to do everyday activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study called 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, doesn’t prevent new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to reduce life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers with recurrent and persistent low back pain.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Joel Dixon on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes how 20 years of maintenance care helped his veteran patient control his back pain so that he could live his life the way he wants to live it.
