YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription
Fills, Improve Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment appreciated
by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is organized 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 documented
as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results
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 reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the
healthcare system is intended to improve
effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes
are common in spine care. (3) Your Severna Park
chiropractor at Back And Neck Care Center understands the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare
practitioners to get you the pain relief we all desire
for you! Your Severna Park chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

with Dr. Robert Borzone on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details
back pain relieving care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted
a patient to decrease her intake of pain
medication as she felt less and less pain.
Severna Park CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Combining efforts, be it
between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment,
is helpful. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing
treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. The latest
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 improved as did their neck disability and pain
intensity. (4) Severna Park back pain and neck pain patients find
additional benefit when they are active in their
care. Back And Neck Care Center is here for support!
