YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription Fills, Enhance 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 incorporating chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus chiropractic care in better 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 lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is intended to enhance effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care. (3) Your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic knows the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all want for you! Your Oxford chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Satterwhite Chiropractic presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Blending efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is helpful. In suffering with and seeking relief of back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. The recent 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. The patients’ range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Oxford back pain and neck pain patients find additional benefit when they are active in their care.
