Murfreesboro back pain patients’ roads to recovery depend on pain reducing treatment, self-care, and positive mindset.

YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG

A positive mindset, good self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic blends them all! A study that followed 740 chronic low back pain patients for a year recorded that those who maintained their pain relief and reported an improved quality of life were also highly confident that they could still perform activities despite their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their pain as horrible and from which they would not get over decreased their recovery outcome. Knowing these issues, researchers and your Murfreesboro chiropractor get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients to handle issues as we move toward pain relief and a better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other red flags is good improvement. More good news comes from a scoping review of papers about spine-pain related factors that mentioned how many issues are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we work together to maintain your positivity and confidence and create a solid Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

$Most Chiropractic Clinic recognizes inflammation’s role in pain and shares how it may be a link between otitis media ear infection and increased hip fracture risk. Interesting research!$

Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Consider Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link

A new study evaluated those with chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond hearing. They discovered that those with chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more susceptible to a greater risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly associated with a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day period. This is commonly associated with dizziness and ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5) We realize inflammation is an enemy when dealing with Murfreesboro back pain and neck pain, and it is apparently an enemy of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Pay attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they develop. We're here to help with chiropractic services! Most Chiropractic Clinic and you make a great team.
