Satterwhite Chiropractic Works to Deliver Back Pain Relief Goals You Want
Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Oxford back pain and neck pain patients want from our Oxford chiropractic care. Satterwhite Chiropractic realizes this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients desire. Relief is feasible. We’ll discuss how, how much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Satterwhite Chiropractic keeps our back pain and neck pain patients at the center of care. We pay attention to what our Oxford chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot do now. It is sensible to put such a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain indicates that patient-led goal setting is effective alone as part of the treatment plan in attaining desired back pain relief. (1) This is welcome news to the millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can boost the chances of their own relief! That’s why we ask our Oxford back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do that they can’t do now. The one thing - or several things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Satterwhite Chiropractic purposely wants to establish realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many Oxford back pain sufferers question if surgery is better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few thoughts on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations: (A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may be a factor in spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) ambiguous parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant removal may be warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal stiffness. (2) With these ideas in mind, let’s look at another report that highlights the immediate beneficial effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: reduced muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. The researchers acknowled that baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may impact the outcomes. (3) At Satterwhite Chiropractic, our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Oxford chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares for a variety of spinal conditions in patients of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown how spinal stiffness may play a role in positive outcomes. Spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic may be delivered in the gentlest manner in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in reducing the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell level by eliminating reactive oxygen species!
