The Value of Oxford Healthy Living

Healthy living. How do you envision that? Do you embrace it? What are healthy living behaviors? Satterwhite Chiropractic is all about healthy living. Satterwhite Chiropractic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Oxford chiropractic patients can expect their Oxford chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope with exisiting spine pain issues but also ward off future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, don’t they? A new study showed that men who abided by more of these healthy choices had decreased possibility of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors are shown to reduce the risk of developing long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially improve the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Taking part in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground.  This may be particularly welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unsteady. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic works with our Oxford back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CHOICE OF CARE

Choice of care for health care issues generates more healthy behaviors. When patients are able to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief shows that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and credentials of the doctor prompted their choice.
