Recently I had a patient in his 50s who had been suffering from back pain for several years, and it got worse. A few months before my arrival, the discomfort was severe, and walking for more than 10-15 minutes was difficult. He took anti-inflammatory drugs and applied moist heat to his back, but these measures did not help. He said he experienced a series of painful episodes throughout his life. When he was younger, medication and rest relieved the pain. But now that I'm old, "Why does the pain take so long to heal?"
When I did the exam and took x-rays of her lower back, I showed her why explaining the intensity and duration of her current discomfort. The test revealed several facts. He can not bend forward, backward, or side to side. Also, I could see the swelling on her back where she was complaining. The place was warm to the touch. This indicates that he had swelling in the area.
We all know that if we sprain our toe or ankle, our range of motion can be limited and become swollen and inflamed. This also happens with your neck and back. Chemicals and laminar fluids attack the injured area and when we touch it with our fingers it hurts and warms and our movement is limited.
The X-ray shows the degree of bone narrowing of the vertebral disc space. This is considered arthritis wear and tear. This is known as degenerative joint disease or spondylosis. This arthritis, or degeneration, results from a lifetime of accumulated trauma in one area.
These significant degenerative changes will affect how an area heals. If my patients are younger and don't wear and tear in the spine, their backs will heal faster. After several injuries and spondylosis, it is clear why his back took so long to recover.
After receiving chiropractic care, the discomfort began to subside. He also found that he was able to walk longer without experiencing any more pain. Treatment consists of using gentle, chiropractic spinal adjustments to correct the misalignment of the spinal vertebrae. Some safe therapies and chiropractic adjustments are necessary to correct the problem as much as possible. His remaining symptoms were insignificant and he was able to walk a reasonable distance. I told him to remember that the 25-year-old now has no back and should be more careful with his actions. He is also given daily stretching and strengthening exercises to continue his improvements.
"Doc, if my back starts giving me a little trouble, I promise, I won't wait long. I'll be in your office immediately," he said as he left the last treatment. Why does my back pain take so long to heal?
In 35 years of chiropractic practice, I have learned that pain and pain management is a significant health problems in America. It is estimated that 50% of Americans suffer from chronic pain. Most chronic pain is caused by spinal problems in the neck and back. This article will discuss chronic back pain, its causes, the most effective treatment, and estimated recovery time.
