January 2025 Healthy News from Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All


CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!

Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient encounters by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people value chiropractic care, with many reporting better quality of life and a reduced need for opioids—a huge win considering the focus on addressing the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are evolving as a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) shows that more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reveals a bigger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike see chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to handling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are recognizing the important role chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only shows a positive change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also opens up opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare systems, benefiting a wide range of patients. Nice news! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is ready to welcome patients to the practice!

TIP OF THE MONTH: POST-BACK SURGERY PAIN? EXERCISE AND CHIROPRACTIC HELP!

Exercise and Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation can significantly assist back surgery patients going through recovery. Recent research in a 2024 systematic review available in The American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation highlights that exercise helps reduce pain and improve functional mobility after lumbar disc herniation surgery. (3) Correspondingly, the Cox Technic has been tested successful in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in 11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, published in a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4) Together, these approaches enhance recovery and quality of life, presenting hope to those plotting a course for them through post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to restoring spine health while decreasing discomfort. So good! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation welcomes post-back surgery patients looking for more healing and relief.
