Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic New York City Back Pain Relief
“Chronic” – not a term associated with good or happiness, is it? Chronic low back pain is on-going back pain that goes on for more than 3 months that just will not quit. Rosenberg Wellness Center invites aggravated, hurting chronic low back pain sufferers of all ages. Our gentle New York City chiropractic service is often relieving, delivering hope for a better day ahead.
GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC
Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center witness the pain relief and function improvement. Some publish their results for everyone to see! A recently published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and occasional right leg pain documented relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient described dealing with this pain for decades. In 4 weeks and 4 visits of flexion distraction treatment together with moist heat and soft-tissue mobilization, he detailed improvement in his condition, reduced pain medication use, and better 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 described by the veteran in this case report is quite common and can be very disabling. Spinal manipulation is recommended for the management of chronic low back in many guidelines backed 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 benefit may well come from its effect on this sensitization. (4) That’s 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 care for chronic low back pain stated that spinal manipulation produced similar effects to other suggested therapies of chronic low back pain (like exercise and drug therapy), was better than non-recommended intervention for short-term improvement, and had limited, mild-to-moderate, passing 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 specifically focused on older (ages 65-91 y/o) chronic low back pain sufferers, the same conclusions were reported: spinal manipulation should be considered a beneficial treatment for the older patient with chronic low back pain for pain relief and function improvement. (7) Most spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. (8) And chiropractors like yours at Rosenberg Wellness Center researched and learned more about the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust form of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well recognized for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain as well as more common spinal pain conditions.
