A new study conducted discovered that a vast mass of persons who are treated with CAM therapies for back pain state receive immense advantages from the treatments. Sixty percent of persons who were surveyed that had received at least one type of CAM treatment within the last year found exceptional relief using the top six treatments, chiropractic care, massage, yoga, Tia Chi, qi Gong, acupuncture, herbal remedies and relaxation techniques. Chiropractic care was the foremost choice of treatment. The study entitled “Perceived Benefit of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for Back Pain”, appears in the June 2010, volume 23 number 3, “Journal of American Board of Family Medicine”.
Back pain is the second most reason for walk in visits to practitioners in the United States. The survey was geared to examine all encouraging CAM therapies, seventeen types where available. Chiropractic care being the most preferred choice at 74%, massage therapy came in at 22%. The choices ranged from hypnosis to naturopathic.
Dr. Gerard Clum, D.C., spokesperson for Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and president of Life Chiropractic College West, had stated by observing the studies there is engaging proof that there is hope for suffers of back pain. More frequently that hope is showing through in chiropractic care and other CAM methods.
The results of the survey were impressive, only 24% of the persons surveyed that had CAM therapies remarked that their conventional medical practitioners advised the use of CAM therapies for back pain.
Other persons used CAM due to the fact they felt that conventional treatments would not help.
Dr. Clum states that persons who suffer with back pain should be knowledgeable of all treatments that are available, particularly alternative treatments that have evidence of being a sound treatment. Chiropractic care in past years has been regarded as alternative treatment, now available is sound evidence to make chiropractic care the first choice for patients and while doing so make treatments such as injections and surgery the alternative treatments.
