Fort Wayne Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“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 said 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 diminish the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily 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-informed chiropractic treatment plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc with good reason! A rat study regarding the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on reducing neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a little faster in delivering relief and decreasing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent treatments at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc also knows that our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are motivated to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic patients said they made 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 followed through in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it is tough to make time at home, and we will continue doing our best at every visit to care for your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access to chiropractic influenced medically-directed spinal pain care in older adults. In an analysis of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, less 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’s a lot of money and suffering. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc makes itself accessible to our Fort Wayne spine pain sufferers! Further, 42% of neck pain patients experience escalated treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients treated with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to require escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double.

EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to acquire spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic monthly 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) versus the control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully reduce the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis.
