YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription
Fills, Enhance Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment 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 outcomes
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 utilized chiropractic care
were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to manage
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the
healthcare system is intended to enhance
effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes
are common in spine care. (3) Your Fort Wayne
chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc understands 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 Fort Wayne chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

Fort Wayne 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 helpful. In looking for relief of back pain or neck pain, combining
treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The recent
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. The patients’ range
of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain
intensity. (4) Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients find
further benefit when they are involved in their
care. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is here for support!
