YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription
Fills, Enhance Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued
by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is organized 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 reported as beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results
of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus
chiropractic care in better quality of life scoring as well as
pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system,
older beneficiaries with spinal pain who used 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. Integrating such care into the
healthcare system is aimed to enhance
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are common in spine care. (3) Your Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractor at Spinal Care Clinic knows the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare
practitioners to get you the pain relief we all want
for you! Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

Burlington and Hamilton CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Blending efforts, whether it is it
between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment,
is important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing
treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. 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) Burlington and Hamilton back pain and neck pain patients report
further benefit when they are involved in their
care. Spinal Care Clinic is here for support!
