The Value of St Peters Healthy Living
Healthy living. How do you define that? Do you embody it? Do you know what behaviors are healthy? Old Mill Chiropractic is all about healthy living. Old Mill Chiropractic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! St Peters chiropractic patients can trust their St Peters chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them deal with exisiting spine pain issues but also avent future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best avoided.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Not smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A new study showed that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had decreased possibility of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This plus the other behaviors appeared to reduce the risk of developing long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Taking part in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Wearing a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unstable ground. This may be particularly welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Old Mill Chiropractic works with our St Peters back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CHOICE OF CARE
Choice of care for health care issues leads to more healthy behaviors. When patients are given the opportunity to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief reports that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, geographical proximity, and doctor’s qualifications influenced their choice.
