What to do for recurring back pain
Can’t shake your low back pain? Give us a call.
Back pain can be cyclical in nature, having recurrent episodes can lead to problems at work, home and with daily activity.
Sometimes low back pain episodes can last for a brief period of time or may be consistent and recurring. The first and most important step is to determine where the pain is coming from. Is the source coming from the joint, muscle, nerve or disc.
During each visit we examine your back pain and determine the cause of your back pain. After determining a cause of your pain, we design treatments that will be best suited for you.
Most of the time this include some form of treatment by Dr. Jack which may include; chiropractic manipulation/adjusting, soft tissue work, bio-mechanical taping, exercise, cold laser therapy. More often we can help resolve these issues quickly with a proper home care regimen like self-mobilization, stretching, end range loading exercises, self-soft tissue work, mobility exercises, strength and condition work.
Addressing Long Lasting Problems
Evidenced-based chiropractic care will help produce symptomatic improvement in a short period of time , but more often we see that when we can get our patients involved in their recovery we see longer lasting results.
These longer lasting solutions are typically exercises or sometimes patient will do well with ongoing maintenance care in which we treat on an as needed basis to help continue your progress.
Some more recent research has shown that patients who have maintenance care for non-specific low back pain those who chose regular care had 13 fewer days of bothersome pain compared those who chose to come in only during exacerbation.¹
