“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Murfreesboro back pain
and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access
just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation relieve pain and reduce
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!) Most Chiropractic Clinic offers
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
Most Chiropractic Clinic with good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on lessening
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
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 Most Chiropractic Clinic for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Most Chiropractic Clinic also understands
that our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients are excited
to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do
their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients reported making their
appointments. That’s the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) were
understandable, but only 44% of them actually did the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make
time at home, and we’ll keep doing our best at
every visit to treat your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned 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 is a
lot of money and pain. Most Chiropractic Clinic makes itself accessible
to our Murfreesboro spine pain sufferers! Further, 42%
of neck pain patients get 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 went
on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. They
were at twice the risk of treatment escalation. (4) Most Chiropractic Clinic delivers
spinal manipulation. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is experienced
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite
good at doing 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. A 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 a year old, 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 suggests that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully reduce
the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis. (5)
Our Murfreesboro furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
