Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Delivers Chiropractic Back Pain Relief
Back pain is not picky. Back pain may pick any of us at any time whether we’re stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active military folks or veterans. Chiropractic’s reputation for aiding back pain sufferers persists and grows in the civilian and military/veteran care systems. The newer curiosity has been how much chiropractic care is best for back pain relief. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC follows this research since military/veteran back pain looks a lot like our civilian La Grande back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some time in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or old age. 264 million work days were reportedly lost in one year due to back pain. (1) La Grande chiropractic care is made to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks in fact experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is described as being debilitating as it often limits their independence and increases the number of doctor visits they have. A study that combined chiropractic and primary care for their back pain brought about modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived improvement over just primary care. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC sees these same outcomes for our La Grande back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back pain along with other medical issues who utilized only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had reduced overall costs of care, shorter occurrences of back pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a triple bonus with La Grande chiropractic care for back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans get back pain and get relief with chiropractic care. Chiropractic is well-integrated into the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. A newly proposed study of chiropractic care in Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain sets out to see if low dose (one to 5 visits) or higher dose (8 to 12 visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is optimal for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management discovered in a study of 1000 back pain patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to get patients maximally improved. (5)) A related finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel with low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain intensity and disability was documented. Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial.
