Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitations October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
Carrolltown knee pain is a pain that Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees a lot. Pain meds and surgical approaches are plentiful while a new non-surgical chiropractic treatment is showing quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique utilized in clinic daily for Carrolltown back pain and neck pain relief - were tailored for use with knee pain. They proved successful in relieving knee pain. Overall, the mean pain scores for knee pain patients dropped from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale with 10 being the worst pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores fell even more from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores fell from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. No one in the study reported any adverse reactions. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable. Check out a PODCAST by the author of this paper about his clinical experience with treating knee pain. This is an exciting addition to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation’s Carrolltown chiropractic care! Carrolltown knee pain sufferers are welcomed to experience this gentle, relieving Carrolltown knee pain treatment!
Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Strengthen the Hip Abductors
All of us can gain from stronger hip abductors, and Carrolltown older folks benefit even more. A recent article states that people with chronic low back pain typically have hip abductor weakness, too. (Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation agrees as this pairing is seen frequently in this Carrolltown chiropractic practice.) A simple series of hip abductor exercises helped reduce pain and improve function for a set of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation will give you some hip strengthening exercises you can do in the convenience of your own home along with the Carrolltown chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox Technic in office to get such relief yourself.
