Management of Low Back Pain with Multimodal Chiropractic Care: A Retrospective Case-Series

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that significantly impacts quality of life. This article examines outcomes for patients receiving chiropractic care for LBP in a private practice setting. Methods: A retrospective case-series was conducted on four patients from Frederick Chiropractic in Raleigh, NC, who presented with low back pain. Data including pain reduction percentages and functional improvements were extracted from existing patient records. The primary intervention consisted of a multimodal approach including Diversified Technique, neurological assessment, and massage therapy. Results: In this cohort (n=4), the mean self-reported pain reduction was 55% (median 55%). Individual functional improvements were noted across cases, including a 20° increase in flexion for one patient, an extension of standing tolerance from 10 to 25 minutes for another, and a 50% reduction in sleep interruptions for a third. Treatment timeframes for these outcomes ranged from two to four weeks. Conclusions: The findings from this small case-series suggest that a multimodal chiropractic approach may be associated with reduced pain and improved function for patients with low back pain. These results highlight the need for further, more rigorous research with larger sample sizes and control groups.

Multimodal Chiropractic Management of Low Back Pain: A Retrospective Case Series from a Private Practice

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, often managed with conservative care. This report summarizes outcomes for patients with LBP undergoing treatment at a private chiropractic clinic. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted by reviewing the clinical files of 12 patients treated for low back pain at Palmercare Chiropractic - Flower Mound. Data extracted included demographics, initial and final pain scores (rated on a 10-point scale), treatment duration, and therapeutic protocols. The primary outcome was the percentage reduction in self-reported pain. Results: The cohort (n=12) consisted of male and female patients across various adult age ranges. Following a course of treatment, patients achieved a mean pain reduction of 88% (median: 89%). Treatment plans were multimodal, frequently incorporating chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, cold laser therapy, and therapeutic exercises. Care durations ranged from 4 to 12 weeks. Key reported outcomes included significant pain relief, restoration of functional mobility, and avoidance of proposed surgical interventions. Conclusion: This retrospective review of 12 cases suggests that a multimodal chiropractic approach can be effective in reducing pain and improving function for patients with low back pain. The observed outcomes warrant further investigation through more rigorous controlled studies.

Multimodal Chiropractic Management of Low Back Pain: A Retrospective Case Series from a Private Practice

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition causing significant pain and disability. This report evaluates the outcomes of patients with LBP undergoing chiropractic care at a private clinic. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted on 37 patients with low back pain at Aspinwall Clinic in Lagrange, GA. Data were compiled from existing patient records, including de-identified patient-reported pain reduction percentages, numeric pain scale scores, and treatment modalities. The primary outcome measure was the percentage reduction in pain from baseline to the conclusion of the treatment plan. Results: The cohort (n=37) demonstrated a mean pain reduction of 87% (median 88%). Individual cases illustrate outcomes across diverse demographics and presentations. Interventions included chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and SoftWave therapy. For example, a 45-54 year-old female reported a 100% pain reduction (from 8/10 to 0/10) over 6 weeks. Another patient, a 55-64 year-old male, reported an 87% pain reduction (from 9/10 to 1/10) in 6 weeks. Conclusion: The findings of this case series suggest that the multimodal chiropractic protocols utilized at this clinic may be associated with substantial pain reduction for patients with low back pain. These results warrant further investigation through more rigorous study designs.

Chiropractic Management of Low Back Pain: A Retrospective Case Series of Eight Patients

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, for which many individuals seek non-pharmacological treatments such as chiropractic care. This article examines outcomes for a series of patients with LBP treated at a private chiropractic clinic. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted by reviewing the files of eight patients presenting with low back pain at Back To Health Chiropractic in Zeeland, MI. Data on chief complaint, baseline pain and function, and post-treatment outcomes were collected. The primary outcome measure was the patient-reported percentage of pain reduction. Results: The cohort of eight patients reported a mean pain reduction of 90% (median 93%). All patients reported a return to normal activities. Outcomes were achieved over time frames ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months. Treatments included chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, class IV laser therapy, and SoftWave therapy. Conclusion: The findings from this case series suggest that a multimodal approach to chiropractic care can be associated with substantial reductions in pain and improvements in function for patients with low back pain. The results are promising, but due to the study's limitations, including the lack of a control group, further research is required to establish causality.
