Lower Your Odds of Back
Pain Recurrence
Many jobs predispose workers
to back pain. What’s worse, many of these patients suffer frequent recurrence
of their pain after their initial recovery. Fortunately, chiropractic care can
dramatically cut the odds of suffering a recurrence of work-related back pain.
People with work-related low
back pain are less likely to suffer disability recurrence if they are cared for
by a chiropractor, compared with a physical therapist or medical physician.
These findings are from a study published in the Journal of Occupational and
Environmental Medicine.
Researchers used workers’
compensation data to follow 894 patients with work-related low back pain for
one year.
The study concludes that the
use of health maintenance care provided by a physical therapist or physician
was associated with a higher disability recurrence than care provided by a
doctor of chiropractic.
