Regular St Peters chiropractic care. A helpful idea? Yep! Consider other helpful regular care ideas: Endocrinologists recommend that diabetics regularly check their blood sugars. Dentists recommend regular teeth cleanings twice annually to keep plaque away. Cardiologists at the American Heart Association recommend exercising at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity a week to have an impact on heart health. Health experts recommend regular daily exercise for 150 minutes a week to keep the body in tune. Nutritionists recommend a good diet daily: fruits, veggies, proteins, fats, etc., to feed the body well. Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is recommended by the American College of Physicians, American Pain Society, and the American Medical Association.

Old Mill Chiropractic cares for many St Peters chiropractic patients on a regular basis, St Peters chiropractic patients who choose such care to keep their spines as healthy and pain-free as possible.
BACK PAIN STATS
80% of us humans will have no less than one episode of back pain in our lifetime. A third of us has back pain right now. Back pain comes and goes, not typically disappearing forever, depending on activities. Old Mill Chiropractic often informs patients that the existing episode of back pain is gaining your attention for a reason. If for no other reason, it is asking for care. It will not be disregarded. Your spine will welcome an effective treatment plan to end the pain as well as a plan to maintain its mobility and health.
CONTINUED CARE BENEFITS
That’s where regular chiropractic care comes into play. Certainly our St Peters chiropractic patients know that chiropractic care alleviates back pain and neck pain and related extremity pain like arm and leg pain. They also understand that they don’t want to suffer with that pain again! While there is no assurance that back pain or neck pain will not come back, keeping that pain at bay and/or keeping its return to as mild as possible is a worthy goal as is a goal to be able to do daily activities as pain free and worry free as possible. A recent study titled the Nordic Maintenance Care Program found that such chiropractic maintenance care reduced the number of days of bothersome pain that limited activities and improved the number of pain free weeks between episodes. These outcomes may well help patients and doctors realistically temper their expectations of care. Maintenance care is not a cure, doesn’t avert new episodes necessarily, but it is a plan to reduce life-routine disrupting pain for back pain sufferers who have recurrent and persistent low back pain.
