Chiropractic Management of Lower Back Pain: A Retrospective Case-Series of 105 Patients at a Single Clinic

Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a widespread condition causing significant pain and disability. Chiropractic care is a common non-pharmacological treatment option, but more practice-based evidence is needed to document outcomes. This study summarizes the results of chiropractic care for a cohort of patients with LBP. Methods: A retrospective case-series was conducted on data from Spine Stop Chiropractic Franklin. The study included 105 de-identified patients who presented with LBP and completed a course of care. The primary outcome measure was the change in self-reported pain, measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS) from baseline to the conclusion of the treatment plan. Results: The cohort of 105 patients experienced a mean pain reduction of 88% and a median pain reduction of 88%. Individual cases demonstrated improvements across various presentations, including acute, chronic, and post-injury LBP. For instance, a patient aged 55-64 with persistent lumbar pain reported a 100% reduction in pain over 12 weeks, while a patient aged 30-39 with an acute lifting injury achieved an 85% pain reduction in 4 weeks. Conclusion: In this retrospective case-series, patients undergoing chiropractic care for lower back pain reported substantial improvements in pain levels. These findings support the potential role of chiropractic management for LBP, though further controlled research is required to establish causality.

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

Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a highly prevalent condition that significantly impairs quality of life and function. Conservative care, including chiropractic treatment, is a common therapeutic strategy. This article examines patient outcomes at a single chiropractic clinic. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted on three patients who received care for lower back pain at Rittenhouse Square Chiropractic in Philadelphia, PA. Data were extracted from existing patient records, focusing on chief complaints, treatment duration, and self-reported outcomes. The primary aggregate metric was mean percentage of pain reduction. Results: The analysis included three patients with acute or chronic LBP. The mean pain reduction reported for the cohort was 80%. Individual case narratives demonstrated substantial functional improvements. One patient with severe pain and inability to stand upright regained normal posture and mobility within three weeks. Another patient with a two-year history of severe LBP reported complete resolution of pain within two weeks of commencing care. Conclusion: The findings in this small case series suggest that the multimodal chiropractic approach used at this clinic may be associated with rapid and significant reductions in pain and improvements in function for patients with LBP. These preliminary results warrant further investigation through more rigorous, controlled study designs.

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

Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition causing significant disability and healthcare expenditure. Chiropractic care is a common non-pharmacological approach for managing LBP. This article reviews patient outcomes following chiropractic care for LBP at a single clinical practice. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted on eight patients who received care for lower back pain at Huebner Chiropractic in San Antonio, TX. Data were extracted from de-identified patient testimonials and case summaries. The primary outcomes were qualitative, based on patient self-reported changes in pain, function, and comfort. Standardized quantitative metrics were not tracked. Results: All eight patients included in the series reported positive outcomes. Subjective reports included significant pain relief, elimination of recurring pain episodes, and return to daily activities, including exercise. Specific interventions mentioned in patient reports included spinal adjustments and traction therapy. Reported timeframes for improvement varied from a few visits to the completion of a care plan. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: The findings from this small case series suggest that a multi-modal approach to chiropractic care may be beneficial for individuals experiencing lower back pain. The results, while positive, are limited by the study's retrospective design, small sample size, and lack of a control group. Further research with standardized measures is required to validate these observations.
