 Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ recovery paths depend on pain reducing treatment, self-care, and positive mindset.

YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG

A positive mindset, good self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a valuable mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic combines them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain patients for a year recorded that those who maintained their pain relief and described an improved quality of life were also highly self-assured that they could still do activities regardless of their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their pain as the worst ever from which they would not get over decreased their recovery outcome. Understanding these issues, researchers and your Fernandina Beach chiropractor get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be managed. We listen thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients to manage issues as we move toward pain relief and a better quality of life. We follow and share 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 encouraging improvement. Additional good news comes from a scoping review of papers about spine-pain related factors that took note of 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 solid Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he shares what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recognizes inflammation’s role in pain and shares how it may be a link between otitis media ear infection and increased hip fracture risk. Interesting research! 

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link

A new study compared those with chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond hearing. They found that those with chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more prone to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated 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 often associated with dizziness and ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5) We know inflammation is an enemy when dealing with Fernandina Beach 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 develop. We are here to help with chiropractic services! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and you make a great team.
