YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription Fills, Enhance Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment appreciated by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the integration of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities incorporating chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was reported as beneficial. There was a significant difference in the outcomes of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the healthcare system is intended to enhance effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare practitioners to get you the pain relief we all want for you! Your Carrolltown chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Combining efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. The latest report of such a combination found that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. Their range of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Carrolltown back pain and neck pain patients report further benefit when they are involved in their care.
