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 Administrationusual 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!

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

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!
