SPINAL MANIPULATION IS EFFECTIVE
AND COST REDUCING FOR SPINE CARE
Moses Chiropractic welcomes all spine
pain patients! Spine pain
is unwelcome by its sufferers. West Palm Beach chiropractic
spinal manipulation is beneficial for many. Though low back pain is
a major source of disability globally, its
sufferers who experience persistent or recurrent bouts of low back pain report that chiropractic
maintenance care is effective as it is
patient-centered care. (1) Neck pain sufferers, too, find help with chiropractic. Neck pain patients who undergo
spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors in the US – were found to be 2.38 times less likely to need higher
level and costly care like imaging,
injection, emergency room or surgery (just 26%) than patients who were treated
with other kinds of care (46%). (2) A recent study of
Medicare patient claims states that patients who had less
access to chiropractic care had a rise in visits
(32.3 a year) to primary care physicians for spine pain and an
uptick in spine surgeries (5.5 a year) costing an extra $114,967 per 1000
Medicare beneficiaries and $391 million nationally. (3) Your West Palm Beach
chiropractor is well-qualified in delivering
spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation
is and has been recommended as first-line treatment for low back
pain. Reviews of Medicare claims point out
that chiropractors are the majority of healthcare providers for spinal
manipulation and that the overall supply of spinal manipulation
providers is dropping. (4) Have no
fear! Your hometown, West Palm Beach chiropractor does not intend to
stop providing pain-relieving spinal manipulation, particularly
the gentle, research-supported Cox® Technic style of spinal
manipulation.
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Kurt Olding on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents research
on the role of spinal manipulation in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management for the relief of spinal stenosis, a common spine pain condition
in the over-65 age group.
West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP
OF THE MONTH:
Beneficial B Vitamins
The benefits of B vitamins is
undeniable. B12 deficiency is often
linked with dementia in patients 65 years old and over. It has also been found in young
people who have normal B12 levels but have a high methylmalonic acid (MMA) level. Testing the MMA level
may be a useful test in patients with symptoms that seem unconnected
as in one patient with neuropathy, depression and stomach issues who tested a
high level of MMA. (5) Biotin (B7) supplementation
is showing potential in the treatment of neuropathic pain
and could reduce the necessary doses of analgesic
drugs. (6) Riboflavin (B2) in foods and via supplements is known
for its antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects among others. A
new study reported that B2 offers anti-itch properties. (7) Are your B levels good?
