The WORLDWIDE Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Palmer Chiropractic Center is thrilled to offer chiropractic services in
Lynchburg and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the foremost
medical journals, presented a series of pieces
on the sad state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous issue universally and
getting 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” as long as its providers follow guidelines (like your chiropractor strives to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, follow evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date
of the latest research (and even taking part
in research when possible!). 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 participate more with public health communities and be of greater
benefit to patients and communities inside
the health system as valued partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center is
grateful for this sponsorship and foreshight
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Lynchburg
chiropractic practice of Palmer Chiropractic Center plans to do here in
Lynchburg.
Check out this PODCAST
with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he incorporates
Cox® Technic into his Lynchburg patient care to help decrease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Palmer Chiropractic Center may benefit
from wearing a lumbar support belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt does not inevitably
cause muscle weakness but rather improves
walking distance capability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, decreases pain and fear of pain,
decreases use of pain medications, and increases
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor cautiously offers
when and if to use of back braces for each individual Lynchburg
back pain patient as he or she heals with Lynchburg
chiropractic care, understanding the advantages
back braces may give along the way.
