Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Oxford
back pain and neck pain patients seek from our
Oxford chiropractic care. Satterwhite Chiropractic gets
this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients desire. Relief
is possible. We’ll discuss how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Satterwhite Chiropractic always puts our back pain and
neck pain patients at the core of care. We listen
to what our Oxford chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot
do presently. It makes sense to place such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies regarding
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain reports
that patient-led goal setting is important alone as part of the treatment plan in getting
desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can boost the chances of their own relief! That is why we question
our Oxford back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they can’t do now. The one thing - or many
things – our patients want to do are motivating for us
both1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Satterwhite Chiropractic intentionally wants to set
realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many Oxford
back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article proposes a few thoughts
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery possibilities:
(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) unclear
parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant
removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these ideas in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: reduced
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly,
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may influence the outcomes. (3) At Satterwhite Chiropractic, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is shown 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 addresses a variety of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic measured
how spinal stiffness may impact positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be delivered in the gentlest manner
in several doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research reported on
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! (4)) Satterwhite Chiropractic
has a way to help our patients get what they want:
results.
