YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription
Fills, Improve Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on care appreciated
by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion
of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including
chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care
plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was found beneficial. There was a significant difference in the outcomes
of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus
chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as
pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system,
older beneficiaries with spinal pain who used chiropractic care
were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to deal with
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the
healthcare system is aimed to enhance
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Oxford
chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic understands the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare
practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all desire
for you! Your Oxford chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Robert Borzone on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details
relieving treatment of back pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted
a patient to lessen her consumption of pain
medication as she experienced less and less pain.
Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Combining efforts, whether it is it
between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment,
is important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, combining
treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. The latest
report of such a combination found that four 20-minute sessions of
manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective
than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. Their range
of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain
intensity. (4) Oxford back pain and neck pain patients report
further benefit when they are involved in their
care. Satterwhite Chiropractic is here for support!
