“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Fort Wayne back pain
and neck pain sufferers is documented to do the same. Access
needs to be just as simple as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and lessen
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible
to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited
from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a staple treatment at
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc for good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on lessening
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed
that manipulation and mobilization did a better
job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a bit quicker
in providing relief and easing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent
treatments at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc for back pain and radiculopathy. We are
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office!
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc also knows
that our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are eager
to receive in-office care but not always as motivated to do
their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients reported making their
appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually did the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make
time at home, and we will keep doing our best at
every visit to manage your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC REDUCED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access
to chiropractic influenced medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced
access to chiropractic care increased the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers equated this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a
lot of money and pain. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc makes itself accessible
to our Fort Wayne spine pain sufferers! Further, 42%
of neck pain patients go on to escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to undergo escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went
on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc delivers
spinal manipulation. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is skilled
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite
good at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Certain dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with
veterinary chiropractic each month to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At one year of age, the treated
puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) than the the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This implies that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially reduce
the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis. (5)
Our Fort Wayne furry companions are helped with chiropractic
treatment, too!
