Carrolltown Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying! Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Carrolltown back pain and neck pain sufferers is said to do the same. Access needs to be just as simple as access to apples! According to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and reduce the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation presents gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a staple treatment at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation with good reason! A rat study regarding the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on reducing neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated that manipulation and mobilization did a better job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a little faster in providing relief and easing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent treatments at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation for back pain and radiculopathy. We are here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation also understands that our Carrolltown chiropractic patients are excited to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic patients said they made their appointments. That’s 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’ll keep doing our best at every visit to care for 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 likened this to an additional cost of $114,967 per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a lot of money and suffering. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation makes itself accessible to our Carrolltown spine pain sufferers! Further, 42% of neck pain patients receive escalated treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients treated with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to experience escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who pursued other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double.

EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Certain dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies aged 8 weeks to one year compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic monthly to same aged boxers not treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) than the the control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully reduce the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis.
