YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription Fills, Improve Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on care appreciated by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was found 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 lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is aimed to improve effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care. (3) Your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic understands the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all desire for you! Your St Peters chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

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

St Peters CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Combining efforts, be it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is important. In looking for relief of back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. 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 got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) St Peters back pain and neck pain patients find further benefit when they are active in their care.
