YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription Fills, Enhance Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on care appreciated by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the healthcare system is meant to improve effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic knows the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to get you the pain relief we all desire for you!

Pure Chiropractic presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Concord, NC CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Combining efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is beneficial. In suffering with and seeking relief of back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest report of such a combination stated that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. Their range of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Concord, NC back pain and neck pain patients report additional benefit when they are active in their care.
