Satterwhite Chiropractic is your local Oxford chiropractic care center where Oxford back pain patients meet their Oxford chiropractor to form a pain relieving treatment plan as well as future back pain prevention plan.

A recent high-level research review restates that spinal manipulation is safe for older adults suffering with back pain. Satterwhite Chiropractic appreciates this verification! How did they do this? The systematic review of all published articles over a 7 year period updated current recommendations. Thirty-seven panelists participated in this best practices guidelinesreview and update. Conclusively, they approved current statements regarding the best practices for chiropractic care of back pain in older adults. They reinforced the current statement about how safe spinal manipulation is for these patients. The panel inserted two additional notes of advice that (1) chiropractors should advise exercise to these older adult back pain patients and (2) manipulation and mobilization influence general positive outcomes beyond pain reduction. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic agrees! Oxford chiropractic patients frequently look for care to get rid of their back pain. Then, they find Oxford chiropractic care that goes beyond just back pain relief. Chiropractic incorporation of nutrition, exercise, and wellness care encourages them to welcome a healthier approach to life.

This chiropractic care begins with back pain relief. The spinal manipulation method Satterwhite Chiropractic employs is called Cox Technic. In research studies about this approach, it’s published that radiculopathy (leg pain), chronic moderate/severe back pain and recurrent mild back pain (pain than comes and goes) respond more favorably to chiropractic Cox Technic than to medical conservative care. This study also documented that chronic/recurrent – back pain that returns several times a year – responds better to exercise. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic recognizes that exercise is crucial to control back pain and prevent future back pain. Satterwhite Chiropractic urges all our Oxford chiropractic patients to exercise.
