Why Augusta Chiropractic Care is Designed for Your Unique Back Pain Experience

Taking that first step into a chiropractor's office when suffering with chronic back pain can feel a bit nerve wrecking. Maybe your symptoms don't match what you have seen online, or perhaps you're curious if you're seeking the proper type of care. Let Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic put your mind at ease: you're just where you are supposed to be.

A very new research study research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research: Spine reveals just how diverse chronic low back pain appearances truly are. (1) The study by Piva and colleagues analyzed chronic low back pain sufferers and found an extraordinary variation in how people feel their pain. This research confirms what chiropractors have long recognized – chronic back pain doesn't always follow a one-size-fits-all pattern.

The study documented the wide range of demographic and biomedical characteristics between chronic low back pain patients, revealing that your unique presentation is absolutely normal. Whether your pain is constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, localized or radiating you're not alone – you're experiencing the natural variability of back pain.

Interestingly, the chiropractic profession is is committed to measuring and improving how well treatments workis dedicated to studying what works best for patients like you. A comprehensive scoping review published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies by Carmichael and colleagues scrutinized chiropractic clinical outcomes registries. (2) These state-of-the-art systems track patient outcomes and continuously improve care quality.

This research shows that chiropractic care is incorporating evidence-based practice to safeguard effective treatment. Clinical outcomes registries track real patient results, helping chiropractors appreciate which treatments work best for different back pain presentations.

Rather than forcing your symptoms into an inflexible diagnostic box, modern chiropractic care acknowledges that effective treatment must be tailored to your specific needs. One example of a clinical data collection of real patient outcomes was done for Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction which tracked clinical outcomes through studies like the 1000 cases study of patients with a variety of back pain diagnoses in the 1990s and the more recent study of patients experiencing continued back pain after back surgery. (3,4) Both gave real data for the number of visits and days to improvement for these patients.

Whether your back pain started gradually or suddenly, whether it's your first episode or another episode like you've dealt with for years, whether you can predict what triggers it or it seems to flare up without warning – you're in capable hands at Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic. The chiropractic profession's - and Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic’s - commitment to tracking outcomes means your treatment draws from the most current studies and successful outcomes of patients with similar conditions.

Your journey to pain relief starts with recognizing there's no "wrong" way to experience back pain and no wrong time to seek expert care that can help you reclaim your life, so make your Augusta chiropractic appointment soon.
