Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Newsletter for October 2016

Back surgery offers a range of relief for back pain patients: 49-58% for lumbar disc herniation causing sciatica. (1) After back surgery, many still find that they have back pain. (2) Could this be why spinal manipulation is recommended by the American Pain Society and the American College Of Physicians for primary care of low back pain?  (3) This is where Fernandina Beach chiropractic care with Cox Technic plays a role. In a recent clinical data collection study, 81% of patients show 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients show continued pain relief at 24 months after care. (4) Cox Technic is the gentle, well-researched chiropractic technique Amelia Chiropractic Clinic chooses to use. For more information, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic invites you to listen to this podcast in which Dr. Cox, the developer of Cox Technic, as he shares more about Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation.

Amazing what technology is allowing us to do today! For back pain specialists like chiropractors and their back pain patients, it’s quite intriguing. 3D printing technology is creating custom-designed intervertebral discs as well as the tissues to support such replacements in the spine. (5) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic looks forward to seeing the outcomes of these new technologies in 5 and 10 years. Along with our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic wonders if there will still be some post-surgical continued pain after these replacement surgeries. Good question. In the meantime, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers Fernandina Beach chiropractic care for neck pain and back pain due to spinal discs for non-surgical pain relief.

The back pain and neck pain patient is really at the heart of clinical outcomes and goal setting for care. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows this and listens to what you desire in terms of relief. A new study documents that better patient outcomes are attained when the patient sets treatment outcome goals important to the patient. Chronic low back pain patients set goals about improving disability and pain and report improvements in their quality of life as well as pain.
