“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for West Palm Beach back pain
and neck pain sufferers is documented to do the same. Access
needs to be just as simple as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation relieve pain and lessen
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible
to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Moses Chiropractic presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at
Moses Chiropractic with good reason! A rat study of the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed
that manipulation and mobilization did a better
job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a bit quicker
in delivering relief and halting severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent
treatments at Moses Chiropractic for back pain and radiculopathy. We are
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Moses Chiropractic also knows
that our West Palm Beach chiropractic patients are motivated
to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do
their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients said they made their
appointments. That is 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 will continue doing our best at
every visit to manage your spinal condition…and supportively
remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC REDUCED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access
to chiropractic influenced medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, less
access to chiropractic care expanded 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. Moses Chiropractic makes itself accessible
to our West Palm Beach 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 performed
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to go
onto escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent 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) Moses Chiropractic offers
spinal manipulation. Your West Palm Beach chiropractor is experienced
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease noted by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One 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 one year of age, the treated
puppies had spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully lessen
the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis. (5)
Our West Palm Beach furry companions are helped with chiropractic
treatment, too!
