Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Millville Back Pain Relief

“Chronic” – not a term that sounds very happy or good, is it? Chronic low back pain is on-going back pain of at least 3 months’ duration that just will not quit. Wilson Family Chiropractic invites aggravated, hurting chronic low back pain sufferers of all ages. Our gentle Millville chiropractic service is often relieving, delivering hope for a more comfortable day.

GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC

Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic see the pain relief and function improvement. Some publish their results for all to see! A recently published case report of a 67 year old male veteran coping with chronic low back pain and occasional right leg pain documented relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient described experiencing this pain for decades. After 4 visits in 4 weeks undergoing flexion distraction treatment along with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he reported improvement in his condition, decreased pain medication use, and enhanced mobility. (1) That’s a welcome result for this back pain sufferer!

WHAT’S UP WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN? Spinal Manipulation’s Role

Chronic low back pain like that explained by the veteran in this case report is quite prevalent and can be quite distressing. Spinal manipulation is recommended for the management of chronic low back in many guidelines supported by such groups as the American Pain Society and the American College of Pain Physicians. (2,3) With chronic low back pain, central sensitization – the consequence of repetitive nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is purported to contribute to chronicity of pain.  Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well come from its influence on this sensitization. (4) That is a benefit chronic back pain sufferers can tolerate.

SPINAL MANIPULATION BETTER FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN…REGARDLESS OF AGE

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (47 RCTs and 9211 participants) of spinal manipulation treatment for chronic low back pain described that spinal manipulation generated similar effects to other suggested therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was superior to non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, momentary adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis determined that spinal manipulation looked to be a good alternative for relief of pain and improvement of function for chronic low back pain sufferers. (6) In a meta-analysis particularly focused on older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same deductions were reported: spinal manipulation should be considered a positive treatment for the older chronic low back pain sufferer for pain relief and function improvement. (7) Most spinal manipulation is done by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Wilson Family Chiropractic researched and learned more about the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust type of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well recognized for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain in addition to more common spinal pain conditions.
