May 2019 Healthy News: Millville Chiropractic Benefits Chronic Pain (Without Opioids) & Athletes

Instead of opioids, Millville chiropractic is beneficial for chronic pain management and relief. 

Chronic Pain: Opioids? Use Chiropractic Instead.

Millville chronic pain is rampant. Millville opioid use is widespread. What is a solution? Chiropractic with Wilson Family Chiropractic. Why? Opioids were welcomed as a pill solution for chronic pain…costs climbed, risks increased. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research investigation of 62,000 patients in 6 studies of chiropractic use and opioid prescribing, usage of chiropractic care ranged from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who visited a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain issue were 49% less apt to obtain a prescription for an opioid than those who went to different healthcare providers. (1) Patients using routine chiropractic care to cope with their chronic low-back and neck pain voiced to researchers that their pain would be more 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) Millville chiropractic patients at Wilson Family Chiropractic value their chiropractic care! Millville 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 utilizing the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management permitted a patient to “forget” to come see him for a year as his pain was absent!

Wilson Family Chiropractic offers spinal manipulation to athletes of all types – recreational and professional – to boost their efforts.

Millville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Spinal Manipulation Before Sports

Millville athletes – recreational and professional – want that edge when they do their activity. Spinal manipulation may be just that! Elite Taekwondo athletes experienced increased muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The improved force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors went on for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase went on for at least 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - experienced increased performances in 2 football seasons during which they obtained pre-game spinal manipulation treatments. (4) A recent report shared that a single pre-exercise SMT elicited a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and marginally diminished 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 Millville chiropractic appointment.
