“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Severna Park back pain
and neck pain sufferers is documented to do the same. Access
just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and lessen
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible
to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Back And Neck Care Center presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-informed chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at
Back And Neck Care Center with good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on lessening
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed
that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a bit faster
in providing relief and decreasing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent
treatments at Back And Neck Care Center for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office!
Back And Neck Care Center also understands
that our Severna Park chiropractic patients are eager
to receive in-office care but not always as motivated to do
their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients said they made their
appointments. That’s the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) were
understandable, but only 44% of them actually followed through
in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it is tough to make
time at home, and we’ll continue doing our best at
every visit to manage your spinal condition…and supportively
remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access
to chiropractic affected medically-directed spinal pain care
in older adults. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced
access to chiropractic care expanded the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers likened this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a
lot of money and suffering. Back And Neck Care Center makes itself accessible
to our Severna Park spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42%
of neck pain patients get escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to experience escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went
on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Back And Neck Care Center offers
spinal manipulation. Your Severna Park chiropractor is skilled
in delivering safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at doing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease noted by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with
veterinary chiropractic each month to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated
puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This implies that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully reduce
the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5)
Our Severna Park furry companions are helped with chiropractic
treatment, too!
