YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An optimistic mindset, good
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a beneficial
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mixes
them all! A study that followed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who maintained
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly confident that they could
still participate in activities regardless of
their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they’d not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Knowing
these issues, researchers and your Severna Park chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be discussed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we advance toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and disclose the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that sets
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is constructive improvement. More
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that noted how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That is where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and form a robust
Severna Park chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Severna Park CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a greater risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study reported
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on rapidly over a 72-hour period.
This is commonly associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5)
We realize inflammation is an enemy in dealing
with Severna Park back pain and neck pain, and it is apparently an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
