The WORLDWIDE Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Spinal Care Clinic is thrilled to offer chiropractic services in
Burlington and Hamilton and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the leading
medical journals, published a series of pieces
on the disappointing state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous issue the world over and
growing worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a
major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low
back” if its providers follow guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, stick to evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep well-informed
of the most recent research (and even taking part
in research when able!). Chiropractic is recognized
for its reputation in treating back pain. It needs to find its way into mainstream
healthcare to relieve more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is developing toolkits for chiropractors to engage
with public health communities and be of greater
service to patients and communities within
the health system as esteemed partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor at Spinal Care Clinic is
grateful for this support and vision
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic practice of Spinal Care Clinic plans to do here in
Burlington and Hamilton.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his Burlington and Hamilton patient care to help decrease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Spinal Care Clinic may find value in wearing a lumbar support belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt does not necessarily
cause muscle weakness but rather enheances
walking distance capability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, decreases pain and fear of pain,
decreases use of pain medications, and fosters
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor cautiously considers
when and if to recommend back braces for each individual Burlington and Hamilton
back pain patient as he or she gets better with Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic care, knowing the benefits
back braces may give along the way.
