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 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 utilized chiropractic care
were at significantly lower 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 proposed,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the
healthcare system is intended to improve
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are common in spine care. (3) Your West Palm Beach
chiropractor at Chiropractic Care understands the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare
practitioners to get you the pain relief we all desire
for you! Your West Palm Beach chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
back pain relieving care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that triggered
a patient to reduce her consumption of pain
medication as she experienced less and less pain.
West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Blending efforts, be 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, mixing
treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest
report of such a combination stated 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) West Palm Beach back pain and neck pain patients find
further benefit when they are involved in their
care. Chiropractic Care is here for support!
