Low back pain Treatment: Chiropractic and Outpatient

A study was done by the MRC Epidemiology and Medical Care Unit of Northwick Park Hospital in the United Kingdom. They compared the effectiveness of Chiropractic treatment with outpatient care for chronic low back pain. Instead of dragging it out, I'll skip right to the good part:CONCLUSIONS–For patients with low back pain in whom manipulation is not contraindicated chiropractic almost certainly confers worthwhile, long term benefit in comparison with hospital outpatient management. The benefit is seen mainly in those with chronic or severe pain. Introducing chiropractic into NHS practice should be considered.NHS is the abbreviation they use for their hospital, if you were wondering. As you can see that the medical system is much more open to having Chiropractic as part of the established hospital care. If more studies like this are conducted, hopefully we will start to catch on here. It needs to be about patient care and how best to treat people, not about making money.

Chiropractic effectiveness on Fibromyalgia

Just read a study conducted on the effectiveness of Chiropractic treatment on Fibromyalgia patients. They took a group of patient and gave them Chiropractic treatments for 4 weeks, then stopped for 4 weeks. After comparing the before and afters, here are the results:RESULTS: Chiropractic management improved patients' cervical and lumbar ranges of motion, straight leg raise and reported pain levels. These changes were judged to be clinically important within the confines of our sample only.Very encouraging, and of course more studies need to be done.

Study of Stress and Psycological factors on Pain

I ran across this study that was done by Stephen Linton, PHD on if psychological factors actually effect pain. While there has been shown to be a link with stress and certain physical manifestations (muscle spasms, ect), but what about anxiety, mood disorders, and other psychological issues? Well, here is what he found in a nutshell:Conclusions. Psychological factors play a significant role not only in chronic pain, but also in the etiology of acute pain, particularly in the transition to chronic problems. Specific types of psychological variables emerge and may be important in distinct developmental time frames, also implying that assessment and intervention need to reflect these variables. Still, psychological factors account for only a portion of the variance, thereby highlighting the multidimensional view.So they actually do have an effect on pain, especially chronic pain. Of course it will be hard to even tell exactly HOW MUCH of a cause and effect relationship there is, we can definitely say it doesn't help matters. And it the link goes this way, what about the other way? If people with chronic pain that also have certain psychological conditions like stress and depression start to get relief from some of the pain symptoms, does that have a positive effect on the psychological aspect? That is what I am working on everyday………
