YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription
Fills, Improve Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued
by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is structured for the integration
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 results
of usual medical care versus 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 used chiropractic care
were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to manage
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the
healthcare system is meant to improve
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Fernandina Beach
chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare
practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all want
for you! Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Robert Borzone on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
relieving treatment of back pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted
a patient to decrease her intake of pain
medication as she experienced less and less pain.
Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Blending efforts, whether it is 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, combining
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) Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients report
further benefit when they are involved in their
care. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here for support!
