Continued La Grande Chiropractic Care Benefits Back Pain Management
Regular La Grande chiropractic care. A good idea? Yep! Consider other helpful regular care ideas: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice annually to keep plaque away. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend performing at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity each week to have an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to keep the body in tune. Nutritionists recommend proper food intake daily: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to nourish the body well. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association. (1,2) Chiropractors recommend spinal manipulation treatments regularly, too, not necessarily daily once the pain is under control, but regularly to keep in check spine pain – back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC cares for many La Grande chiropractic patients on a regular basis, La Grande chiropractic patients who choose such care to maintain healthy and pain-free spines as best they can.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will have at least one episode of back pain in our lifetime. A third of us has back pain this moment. Back pain is known to come and go not disappear for life. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC often tells patients that the current episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It will not be disregarded. Your spine will appreciate an effective treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to keep it mobile and healthy.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Surely our La Grande chiropractic patients understand that chiropractic care lessens back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also know that they don’t want to suffer with such pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain will not come back, keeping that pain at bay and/or keeping its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study titled the Nordic Maintenance Care Program stated that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that restrained activities and improved the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, does not avert new episodes necessarily, but it’s a plan to decrease life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
