May 2019 Healthy News: Murfreesboro Chiropractic Benefits Chronic Pain (Without Opioids) & Athletes
Murfreesboro chronic pain is extensive. Murfreesboro opioid use is widespread. What’s a solution? Chiropractic with Most Chiropractic Clinic. Why? Opioids were welcomed as a pill answer for chronic pain…costs rose, risks increased. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research investigation of 62,000 patients in six studies of chiropractic utilization and opioid prescribing, usage of chiropractic care fluctuated from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who saw a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain problem were 49% less likely to get a prescription for an opioid than those who went to other healthcare providers. (1) Patients using on-going chiropractic care to manage their chronic low-back and neck pain expressed to researchers that their pain would be more without such chiropractic care. Additionally, they are willing to pay for care to keep their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost ranges from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Murfreesboro chiropractic patients at Most Chiropractic Clinic appreciate their chiropractic care! Murfreesboro chiropractic services benefit chronic pain along with or without opioids.
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how chronic back pain treatment without opioids using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management allowed a patient to “forget” to come see him for a year as his pain was gone!
Murfreesboro athletes – recreational and professional – crave that edge when they do their thing. Spinal manipulation might be that edge! Elite Taekwondo athletes felt improved muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The increased force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors went on for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase lasted for at least 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - felt better performances in two football seasons during which they obtained pre-game spinal manipulation treatments. (4) A recent report said that a single pre-exercise SMT elicited a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and slightly lessened performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it boosts your edge. Let’s chat at your next Murfreesboro chiropractic appointment.
