Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are worrying. Chiropractic care offers relieving care to both military and non-military folks alike. New studies centered on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans revealed benefits of chiropractic care to which La Grande chiropractic care patients can connect: improvement in pain, strength, and coping with pain. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is the La Grande chiropractic pain and stress relief center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is working on addressing veterans’ needs. Medicine is at the front in the VA care system while many veterans are venturing outside that system for other care. A national study of veterans found that 52% employed complementary and integrated health approaches to manage their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation on top of the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% said they are interested in undertaking at least one of these approaches: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were much more likely to try these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are like you! They pursue La Grande chiropractic care outside the regular system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers find that their strength and quality of life decrease. Chiropractic care can frequently help. Veterans notably suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which causes difficulties with their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system accounts for these overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System would want to fastidiously diagnose and manage PTSD veterans to ensure they are getting all the care they require. (2) Your La Grande chiropractor thinks each of our La Grande back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to maximize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome all back pain sufferers want is to perform activities of daily living as they want and need. Back pain is notorious for interfering with daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are key daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were sent to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients improved their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength dropped by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all improved with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still hurt and want some help. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the past month. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers such pain reducing, strength increasing care for La Grande back pain sufferers, too!
