How Long Do I Have to See The Chiropractor?

"Why do I need continued chiropractic treatments for my back pain? Why can't you, my New York City chiropractor, just treat it and put a stop to the pain altogether so it doesn't come back?"

This is not an uncommon question, and it's also very sensible. The answer is logically simple, too, though dual: we are born with spinal issues or we develop them.

BORN-WITH-IT BACK PAIN

Some of us are born with spinal issues that will be with us all life through. Such conditions as spondylolisthesis, transitional vertebrae, fused vertebrae, and spinal curvatures are distinctive to one's own spine. There is no route to "get a new back bone" if one of these conditions is ours. So we must learn how to respect our spines so as to not cause pain. Your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center can deliver the spinal manipulation intended to ease your specific spinal condition. Then, you will want to think about its 

It is in these continued spine problems that we - you and your New York City chiropractor - must work together for the best outcome, even coming in for periodic spinal manipulation. (1)

LIFE-ACQUIRED BACK PAIN

Some of us injure our backs. We do things that damage the seemingly healthiest of spines: tumbling off a snowmobile or ladder or wakeboard or lifting too much weight. You get the picture - things we do in everyday activities of daily living may injure us, and we wind up with back pain. So, when we hurt the spine to the extent that we trigger intervertebral disc degeneration, a herniated disc, arthritis, misaligned vertebrae, etc., we now will contend with a spinal weakness which may become the vulnerable link in our spinal health.

We all must maintain a strong, well-aligned spine and use the spine with the respect and knowledge of staying away from those settings that could cause it pain.

How? You and your New York City chiropractor see each other every now and then. An occasional visit to Rosenberg Wellness Center for spinal alignment and assessment of healthy spine maintenance is appropriate. Post-continued spinal manipulation after the original pain-relieving care is even suggested as a way to chieve long-term benefit. (1) Truly, prevention is far better than having to go through repetitive treatment of New York City back pain. It avoids pain and suffering in the present and decreases the chance of further spine pain in the future.

PATIENT-CENTERED BACK PAIN CARE: CHIROPRACTIC

A recent report described the reality of low back pain being a major cause of disability globally. It is persistent or recurrent for many people. It is not common that it just goes away and never returns. Fortunately, chiropractic maintenance care or management treatment plan has been found to be effective in reducing painful days for some sufferers. Patients for whom maintenance care was reported to be of high value described such care as “patient-centered” while cost, (un)availability of care, and fear of treatment worried others. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center strives to address all of these concerns which often go away as the back pain diminishes.

Whether you were born with it or developed it, back pain is no fun. Remedy is possible with Rosenberg Wellness Center. Just understand that there is a logical need and even benefit for occasional spinal manipulation and chiropractic care for certain spine problems. (1)
