WHO Research Article Summary in The Colony TX

Resolving to take control of your health in the new year? Eliminating back pain would be a good start. The World Health Organization recently released evidence-based guidelines on the non-surgical treatment of chronic low back pain. I reviewed this 270+ page document and found some interesting conclusions. To learn more contact our chiropractic team in The Colony TX.

Effective Medical Intervention In The Colony TX

Some of the most effective evidence-based physical and medical interventions listed for treating back pain symptoms included: structured exercise therapies/ physical therapy, needling therapies (including acupuncture and dry needling), spinal manipulative therapy (chiropractic care), massage therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and topical cayenne pepper. To be completely transparent with you, I have personally never tried or recommended topical cayenne pepper for back pain before, so this one was new to me! I’m always willing to learn and keep an open mind. The other modalities listed I am very familiar with because many of the therapies above are what we do in our office and why we see such incredible patient outcomes. I encourage you to Google our office and look at the hundreds of incredible 5-Star reviews! I love reading these stories and sharing in the victories of our patients.

Additionally, this study mentioned that multi-modal approaches tend to yield better patient results. This means there is no ‘cookie-cutter’ or ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that works with every person with back pain. Many times, it may be a combination of therapies in a specific order that may create the best possible results for people suffering with back or neck pain. I founded Stonebridge Health 8 years ago with this guiding principle of collaboration in mind not because this extensive study told me to do so, but because it was how I would personally want to be treated. When we truly strive to act with integrity and service towards others, I feel this world becomes a bit brighter for everyone to enjoy! Make 2024 your best year yet.
