Pure Chiropractic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Concord, NC chiropractic patients can trust their Concord, NC chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them deal with exisiting spine pain issues but also avent future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Not smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A new study described that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had lower risk of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors are shown to reduce the risk of having long term upsetting low back pain in women and even potentially improve the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Using a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground.  This may be especially helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Pure Chiropractic works with our Concord, NC back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CARE CHOICE

Choice of care for health care issues generates more healthy behaviors. When patients are given the opportunity to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were less than if they went to their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access results in a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief reports that their familiarity with the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications prompted their choice.
