Have been asked why you see a chiropractor? Have you asked a
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patient friend why he or she visits
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic? It’s a logical inquiry. Well, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares here some valid points of recent research outcomes to help answer those questions of why see a
chiropractor for spine pain.
First, a study of patients going to the hospital for acute
low back pain had severe pain, disability and difficulty in communicating their
illness experience. These patients found that they were required to navigate a
system they did not understand, interacting with healthcare workers who seemed
to operate independently rather than as a team. Suggestions for acute
low back pain management guidelines were made: develop summaries for
patients that include how to communicate with the hospital structure and
explain who does what and ensure that all members of treating teams are educated in these guidelines so that they are
consistently implemented. (1) Fernandina Beach back pain patients can avoid
this confused treatment approach by seeing the trained chiropractor at
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic, the doctor who is the Fernandina Beach back pain specialist
in understanding the mechanism of back pain, how to diagnose the cause, and
most importantly how to treat it without surgery. The Fernandina Beach doctor
of chiropractic is trained for spine pain treatment. Go to the best Fernandina Beach
back pain specialist and avoid the confusion of hospital protocols.
Next, realize that over 80% of us will have spine pain in
our lives and some of us throughout life. Realize that the intervertebral disc
in your spine is the most pain producing structure in the spine and that disc
degeneration starts in the second decade of life. That’s surprising to many Fernandina Beach
back pain sufferers. It stresses the importance of humans to start spine care in their teens so as
to avoid or diminish spine pain later in life. That involves proper use of the
spine to avoid injury, nutrition to maintain the nutrients for disc health, and
spinal manipulation for some spine conditions. This may well help minimize
and even possibly avoid spine pain later
in life. Always remember that as the discs in the spine lose height due to
degeneration, there is impaction of load forces on other spine structures that
start the pain process of degeneration. Avoid this with sound chiropractic
advice and treatment. (2) Start at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic.
Now, concerning nutrition of the intervertebral disc,
remember also that intervertebral disc degeneration includes death of disc
cells in response to nutrient deprivation and multiple stresses. (3) Your Fernandina Beach
chiropractor will coach and instruct you in the nutrition benefits of avoiding
disc degeneration.
Regarding back surgery, like it or not, surgical outcomes
are influenced by your body weight. Greater body mass index (BMI) (overweight) is
an independent risk factor for undergoing a revision procedure following spine
surgery. Patients with greater BMI undergoing
spine surgery should be informed they could have an elevated risk for revision
procedures. (4) Think about this - chiropractors including yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic are
trained to condition the body, that is strengthen body muscle and lose weight
in addition to providing necessary spinal manipulation and advice on nutrition.
Keep in mind that while under Fernandina Beach chiropractic care, your BMI may reduce. Fernandina Beach chiropractic care can give you
relief without surgery by treating you as a whole person.
Finally, it will amaze you to learn that a study comparing
conservative, non-surgical treatment of spinal stenosis (which causes often
severe low back and leg pain) shows no difference in pain relief between
surgery versus bracing and exercise. It also showed that spinal injections gave
better physical function than surgery while better pain relief was with surgery
at six weeks. In the conclusion of this study, a high rate of adverse side
effects ranging from 10% to 24% was reported following surgery. No side effects
were reported for any of the conservative treatment options. In the end, no
conclusion could be made as to whether surgery or non-surgical care was best. (5)
