Minster Chiropractic Center Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are worrying. Chiropractic care extends relieving care to both military and non-military folks alike. New studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans revealed benefits of chiropractic care to which Minster chiropractic care patients can relate: improvement in pain, strength, and dealing with pain. Minster Chiropractic Center is the Minster chiropractic pain and stress relieving center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is at work to address veterans’ needs. Medicine is forefront in the VA care system while many veterans are going outside that system for other care. A national study of veterans found that 52% used complementary and integrated health approaches to manage their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation leading the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% reported they are interested in trying at least one of these options: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were much more likely to try these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are not unlike you! They pursue Minster chiropractic care outside the routine system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers lose their strength and quality of life. Chiropractic care can frequently help. Veterans notably suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which causes difficulties with their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system accounts for these overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to carefully diagnose and coordinate care of PTSD veterans to be sure they are getting all the necessary care. (2) Your Minster chiropractor thinks each of our Minster back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to optimize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome all back pain sufferers want is to perform activities of daily living as they want and need. Back pain is known to reduce ability to daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are crucial daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were allocated to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients bettered their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength decreased by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all got better with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some help. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the past month. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Minster Chiropractic Center offers such pain decrasing, strength increasing care for Minster back pain sufferers, too!
