“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Colorado Springs back pain
and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access
just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation relieve pain and diminish
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible
to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited
from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR for good reason! A rat study of the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on lessening
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
that manipulation and mobilization did a better
job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a bit quicker
in providing relief and decreasing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading
treatments at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office!
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR also understands
that our Colorado Springs chiropractic patients are eager
to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do
their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients reported making their
appointments. That’s the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually followed through
in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make
time at home, and we’ll keep doing our best at
every visit to treat your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access
to chiropractic influenced medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, less
access to chiropractic care increased the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers likened this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That’s a
lot of money and pain. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR makes itself accessible
to our Colorado Springs spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42%
of neck pain patients receive escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to undergo escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR offers
spinal manipulation. Your Colorado Springs chiropractor is experienced
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Certain dog breeds like boxers tend to acquire
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease noted by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with
veterinary chiropractic each month to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated
puppies were found to have spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This implies that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully lessen
the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis. (5)
Our Colorado Springs furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
