The WORLDWIDE Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Cross Chiropractic Center is excited to offer chiropractic services in
Sandy Springs and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the leading
medical journals, published a series of pieces
on the sad state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is a huge issue the world over and
getting worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a
major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low
back” as long as its providers put into
practice guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, stick to evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date
of the latest research (and even taking part
in research when able!). Chiropractic is known
for its role in treating back pain. It needs to find its way into mainstream
healthcare to take care of more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is developing toolkits for chiropractors to engage
with public health communities and be of more
assistance to patients and communities within
the health system as valued partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your Sandy Springs chiropractor at Cross Chiropractic Center is
grateful for this support and foreshight
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Sandy Springs
chiropractic practice of Cross Chiropractic Center plans to do here in
Sandy Springs.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates
Cox® Technic into his Sandy Springs patient care to help decrease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Cross Chiropractic Center may find value in wearing a lumbar back belt. New research reveals
that a lumbar support belt does not necessarily
result in muscle weakness but rather enheances
walking distance capability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
reduces use of pain medications, and fosters
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor carefully considers
when and if to recommend back braces for each individual Sandy Springs
back pain patient as he or she heals with Sandy Springs
chiropractic care, knowing the benefits
back braces may give along the way.
