The GLOBAL Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
It’s the time for chiropractic!
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is excited to offer chiropractic services in
Ashburn and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the foremost
medical journals, presented a series of pieces
on the disappointing way8 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” if its providers adhere guidelines (like your chiropractor aims to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, follow evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date
of the latest research (and even taking part
in research when possible!). Chiropractic is known
for its reputation in treating back pain. A place
for it needs to be made in 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 Ashburn chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn appreciates this support and foreshight
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this Ashburn
chiropractic practice of Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn strives to do here in
Ashburn.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he incorporates
Cox® Technic into his Ashburn patient care to help ease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn may find value in wearing a lumbar back belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt doesn’t inevitably
cause muscle weakness but rather enheances
walking distance capability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
lessens use of pain medications, and strengthens
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All
good! Your chiropractor cautiously considers
when and if to recommend back braces for each individual Ashburn
back pain patient as he or she heals with Ashburn
chiropractic care, knowing the benefits
back braces may provide along the way.
