Back pain. Hospital. Not always a desired combination.
Just ask any back pain sufferer and his or her family who have gone down this
road. Let’s take a look at what happens when back pain flares and you, the
Williamson back pain sufferer, and your loved one(s) just want it to
end. You go to the hospital for help, and you just get more confused and keep
hurting.
Apple Country Chiropractic has heard a lot
of these stories! And we’re always ready to step in and make this
Williamson back pain journey as
short as possible and as
understandable
as possible. Apple Country Chiropractic knows that what the back pain sufferer understands
about
back pain helps in the long run. And Apple Country Chiropractic knows that just
saying you have acute or chronic
low back pain is too simplistic.

Yet, low back pain can be understood when it’s investigated and explained well
like it is at Apple Country Chiropractic.
Understanding is key. Hospitals are confounding places for
back pain sufferers (2) and spine care centers aren’t much better (3).
The hospital system of people and tests are not clearly related. (2) The
spine center informational brochures are written in too complicated a manner to
be of much help. (3) Apple Country Chiropractic is your one-stop place for back pain
information, care and relief. More on that later…
But let’s look more at hospital care for back pain. When
back pain first sets in, it’s called “acute” low back pain. This phase lasts up
to 4 to 6 weeks. It’s in this phase of back pain that the Williamson
back pain sufferer seeks help. Going to the hospital when the pain gets really
intense and has been for days seems like a natural next step. But what
happens when you go to the hospital with low back pain? You’re in so much
severe pain and with such disability that you have a hard time describing your
back pain experience. Then, you have to talk and interact with so many
different people – doctors, nurses, insurance personnel, healthcare workers –
who want to help but just don’t seem to make you feel better. You expect someone to just tell you why you
hurt and what the underlying causes is which with back pain often isn’t
immediately known. You want relief to return to life. Researchers recommend
that the hospital develop an easy-to-understand guide for patients to
understand the hospital team’s goals and routines and how to interact with all
of these people. (2)
