Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our West Palm Beach
back pain and neck pain patients desire from our
West Palm Beach chiropractic care. Chiropractic Care knows
this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients want. Relief
is possible. We’ll discuss how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Chiropractic Care always puts our back pain and
neck pain patients at the center of care. We pay attention
to what our West Palm Beach chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t
do now. 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 indicates
that patient-led goal setting is important in and of
itself as a treatment element to getting
desired back pain relief. (1) This is welcome news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can boost the chances of their own relief! That is why we ask
our West Palm Beach back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do are motivating for us
both1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Chiropractic Care intentionally wants to set
realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many West Palm Beach
back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few thoughts
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) recorded
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) ambiguous
parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant
removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s look
at another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly,
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may influence the outcomes. (3) At Chiropractic Care, 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
West Palm Beach chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares
for a multitude 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 a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated
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)) Chiropractic Care
has a way to deliver what our patients want:
results.
