SPINAL MANIPULATION: A Beneficial Choice for Relief of Back Pain, Better Quality of Life, Reduced Risk of Tests and Prescriptions

Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is a choice for treatment of back pain, a choice not all back pain patients are aware of but may want to be. In an analysis of 83,025 insurance back pain claims, 28% of the patients underwent treatment with SMT. Of them, 24% underwent SMT initially, 4% delayed using SMT, and 72% did not undergo SMT at all. Treating initial back pain episodes with spinal manipulation decreased the risk of imaging studies, injection procedures, and/or back surgery by nearly 30% compared with not receiving SMT. Delayed SMT also raised the risk for these procedures. (1) A review of older Medicare chronic low back pain sufferers who received long-term care with SMT found that they described having higher health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care than those who had long-term care with prescription drug therapy. (2) Older Medicare chronic low back pain patients who initially chose opioid analgesic therapy reported a higher rate of adverse drug events than the patients who chose SMT care. (3) Spinal manipulation is our forte! Delivering gentle, research-documented spinal manipulation in the form of gentle, well-investigated Cox® Technic is our choice. Come feel it!

Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

MANAGE OSTEOPOROSIS: Risk, Falls, Care

Osteoporosis-related falls are so common as osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases. A review of two studies of older men and women with osteoporosis counted their falls. Overall, falls within 4 months were found to be indicators of higher risk for non-spine and hip fracture in the next 12 months. In women, a recent fall signaled an 8.1% absolute risk of non-spine fracture in 12 months, a 2.5 times greater risk than women who hadn’t had falls, a 2.5% absolute risk of hip fracture, and a 3.1 times higher fall risk. (4) Falls aren’t good. Most Chiropractic Clinic is ready to help you prevent falls and osteoporosis-related fractures. We can discuss addressing options like nutrition (calcium and vitamin D supplementation, etc.), gut microbiota balance, and exercise within the Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plan for osteoporosis management. (5,6) Researchers observed that patients understood the benefit of non-pharmacological management of osteoporosis including exercise, nutrition, and fall prevention but confessed that they had a hard time incorporating these approaches into everyday life.
