Aurora Chiropractic Center Cares for Veterans and Locals Alike with Back Pain and Stress
Stress of life and stress of military life are taxing. Chiropractic care offers relieving care to both military and non-military folks correspondingly. Current studies focused on the benefits of chiropractic for military veterans uncovered benefits of chiropractic care to which Juneau chiropractic care patients can relate: improvement in pain, strength, and coping with pain. Aurora Chiropractic Center is the Juneau chiropractic pain and stress relief center!
STRESS AND PAIN
Veterans struggle with stress and pain. The VA System is at work to address veterans’ needs. Medicine is forefront in the VA care system while many veterans are going outside that system for other care. A national survey of veterans found that 52% employed complementary and integrated health options to deal with their issues with pain and stress reduction/relaxation topping the list: 44% massage, 37% chiropractic, 34% mindfulness, 24% other meditation, and 25% yoga. 84% said they are interested in undertaking at least one of these approaches: massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, progressive relaxation, acupressure. They were far more likely to try these outside the VA System. (1) Veterans are not unlike you! They pursue Juneau chiropractic care outside the usual system at times, too!
HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR STRENGTH
Veterans with back pain like other back pain sufferers lose their strength and quality of life. Chiropractic care can frequently help. Veterans notably suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder which causes difficulties with their pain management care. Chiropractic care within the VA system accounts for these overlying issues. Chiropractors in the VA System will want to carefully diagnose and manage PTSD veterans to be sure they are receiving all the care they need. (2) Your Juneau chiropractor thinks each of our Juneau back pain patients’ other issues in the same way to optimize positive clinical outcomes.
IMPROVING STRENGTH IN LOW BACK PAIN SUFFERING VETERANS
One positive clinical outcome wanted by all back pain sufferers is to perform activities of daily living as they need and want. Back pain is notorious for interfering with daily activities. For veterans, lifting, endurance and balance are vital daily activities. Back pain suffering veterans were assigned to chiropractic care or a wait list for 4 weeks. The chiropractic patients increased their pulling strength by 5.08 kgs while the wait list group’s pull strength decreased by 7.43 kgs. Trunk muscle endurance, disability, pain intensity and fear avoidance behavior all got better with chiropractic care of active military personnel with low back pain. (3) Plus, after back surgery, some veterans will still experience pain and want some help. 90.3% of VA chiropractors reported seeing at least 1 post-back surgery fusion patient in the last 30 days. (4) Chiropractic care for post-surgical continued pain is showing itself to be beneficial. Aurora Chiropractic Center offers such pain reducing, strength increasing care for Juneau back pain sufferers, too!
