May 2019 Healthy News: Carrolltown Chiropractic Benefits Chronic Pain (Without Opioids) & Athletes
Carrolltown chronic pain is rampant. Carrolltown opioid use is epidemic. What is a solution? Chiropractic with Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. Why? Opioids were hailed as a pill answer for chronic pain…costs climbed, risks soared. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research analysis of 62,000 patients in 6 studies of chiropractic use and opioid prescribing, use of chiropractic care ranged from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who visited a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain problem were 49% less liable to receive a prescription for an opioid than those who went to other healthcare providers. (1) Patients using routine chiropractic care to cope with their chronic low-back and neck pain told researchers that their pain would be greater without such chiropractic care. Further, they are willing to pay for care to maintain their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost ranges from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Carrolltown chiropractic patients at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation highly regard their chiropractic care! Carrolltown chiropractic services benefit chronic pain along with or without opioids.
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how chronic back pain treatment without opioids using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management permitted a patient to “forget” to come see him for a year as his pain was gone!
Carrolltown athletes – recreational and professional – want that edge when they do their sport. Spinal manipulation could be just that! Elite Taekwondo athletes experienced added muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The increased force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors continued for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase lasted for not less than 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - experienced better performances in 2 football seasons during which they had spinal manipulation treatments before games. (4) A recent report shared that a single pre-exercise SMT brought about a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and slightly lessened performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it boosts your edge. Let us chat at your next Carrolltown chiropractic appointment.
