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!

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.
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.
