Benefit of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Burlington and Hamilton Back Pain Relief

“Chronic” – not a term that sounds very happy or good, is it? Chronic low back pain is long-lasting back pain that goes on for more than 3 months that just will not stop. Spinal Care Clinic invites frustrated, hurting chronic low back pain sufferers of all ages. Our gentle Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic service is often relieving, bringing hope for a better day ahead.

GROWING SUPPORT FOR CHRONIC LBP RELIEF WITH COX® TECHNIC

Chiropractic researchers and everyday clinical practitioners like your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor at Spinal Care Clinic see the relief of pain and return of function. Some publish their outcomes for all to see! A newly published case report of a 67 year old male veteran dealing with chronic low back pain and pain extending down his right leg occasionally documented relief with Cox® Technic treatment. The patient reported 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, reduced pain medication use, and better mobility. (1) That is 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 very common and can be quite distressing. Spinal manipulation is endorsed for the management of chronic low back in several 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 repeated nerve stimulation has on the central nervous system - is thought to contribute to chronicity of pain.  Spinal manipulation’s advantage may well stem from its effect on this sensitization. (4) That’s a benefit chronic back pain sufferers can accept.

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 stated that spinal manipulation created similar effects to other recommended 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, momentary adverse effects. (5) Another such meta-analysis determined that spinal manipulation appeared to be a good alternative for pain relief and function improvement 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 conclusions were found: spinal manipulation should be considered a beneficial 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 Spinal Care Clinic researched and learned more about the delivery of the gentle, non-thrust type of spinal manipulation known as Cox® Technic which well know for its treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis pain in addition to more routine spinal pain conditions.
