Oxford Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying! Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Oxford back pain and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and diminish the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Satterwhite Chiropractic offers gentle spinal manipulation via a well-informed chiropractic treatment plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at Satterwhite Chiropractic for good reason! A rat study of the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed that manipulation and mobilization did a better job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a little faster in providing relief and easing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading treatments at Satterwhite Chiropractic for back pain and radiculopathy. We are here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us! Satterwhite Chiropractic also knows that our Oxford chiropractic patients are eager to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic patients said they made their appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually did the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make time at home, and we will keep doing our best at every visit to manage your spinal condition…and supportively remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access to chiropractic affected medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced access to chiropractic care increased the use of medical services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions. The researchers equated this to an additional cost of $114,967 per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That’s a lot of money and suffering. Satterwhite Chiropractic makes itself accessible to our Oxford spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42% of neck pain patients get escalated treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to undergo escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic delivers spinal manipulation. Your Oxford chiropractor is experienced in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at doing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to acquire spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies aged 8 weeks to one year compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic monthly to same aged boxers not treated with chiropractic. At one year of age, the treated puppies had spondylosis significantly less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially lessen the probably of young boxers developing spondylosis. (5) Our Oxford furry companions are helped with chiropractic treatment, too!
