The GLOBAL Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Vancouver Disc Centers is thrilled to offer chiropractic services in
Vancouver and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the foremost
medical journals, presented a number of pieces
on the disappointing state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is a huge problem 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” if its providers put into
practice guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, stick to evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep abreast
of the most recent research (and even participating
in research when able!). 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 creating27 toolkits for chiropractors to engage
with public health communities and be of greater
benefit to patients and communities inside
the health system as respected partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers appreciates this sponsorship and vision
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Vancouver
chiropractic practice of Vancouver Disc Centers aims to do here in
Vancouver.
Listen in to this PODCAST
with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his Vancouver patient care to help ease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Vancouver Disc Centers may find value in wearing a lumbar support belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt does not inevitably
result in muscle weakness but rather improves
walking distance ability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
reduces use of pain medications, and strengthens
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor cautiously considers
when and if to use of back braces for each individual Vancouver
back pain patient as he or she gets better with Vancouver
chiropractic care, knowing the advantages
back braces may give along the way.
