back pain management
What comes to mind when you say "alternative medicine"? Smoke and mirrors? Candles and song? Hippies, perhaps? (Incidentally, I have never seen a hippie with type II diabetes, but it is again for another time) Seriously, when you think you may be thinking of medicine In alternative herbal medicine, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and other things.
Unfortunately, there is something about the term "medicine alternative "that says" not real "," quack "," should be a kind of trick of the mind "or give the impression you should look for something else "alternative" first.
As a physician, chiropractic, I really can not speak for acupuncturists, herbalists, massage therapists, etc. other than that it is certainly difficult, scientific, peer reviewed, and the mainstream of daily proof that supports each of these professions. What I can speak both sides of chiropractic medicine since he began as a patient and continue to receive chiropractic care and practical care for others.
Because of my experience in general, I will argue that chiropractic should be considered popular, not replacement is the treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders. In medical school doctors could relieve the extreme pain I had in my back so I asked the care of a chiropractor. It surprised me what happened past! For weeks, my pain was manageable.
Because of this experience, I changed my medical practice chiropractor General and never looked back. This does not mean I do not recommend other types of medical care other than chiropractic care because we We need all types of medicine to help and heal people of "alternative" to integration.
We must establish a holistic approach to healing in all areas, so we are working with others. For example, a patient with newly arrived severe neck pain. After review, I was diagnosed with lung cancer, a diagnosis that is generally lost only one MD week earlier. Of course, it was recommended that a specialist in cancer that might help identify the correct treatment of give the best chance to fight and live with this terrible disease.
If medicine Chiropractic really considered alternatives? I think not! This should be the general election to treat musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain, headaches and secure. For those who automatically reject what is considered "alternative" science as quackery, snake oil, do a real investigation. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are some resources to get started.
Waddell, MD. Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the acute phase of LBP. RCGP 1996. Chapter 15
Eisenberg, MD, et al. "Perceptions about complementary therapies relative to conventional therapies among adults who use both, "Annals of Internal Medicine. 2001; volume 135 pages 344-351

Dr. John Olsen specializes in an overall treatment plan that addresses all types of pain. However, back pain seems to be prevalent during tough economic times and he is seeing many patients with chronic back problems. He also loves to teach how chiropractic works and is a believer since it first helped him.
Support Website or groups to manage pain or back problems and support they need in Australia?
I'm in the UK and have a friend in Australia and is achieving very low and depressed because of back problems and pain, frustration and losing the battle. Its been from many years. I was wondering if anyone knows a website to support management of long-term pain, or anything of that nature, is quite lonely and is only 40, any website Specialist advice again as I think your problem is very serious, its hard to help from afar. Thank you!
I closed the two sites one of them has a chat room and the other has the information for chronic pain. Your friend certainly need support. You 're a good friend to try to help from afar. Best wishes, Billie77
