“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Millville back pain
and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access
needs to be just as simple 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 easily accessible
to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Wilson Family Chiropractic presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a staple treatment at
Wilson Family Chiropractic for good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on reducing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed
that manipulation and mobilization did a better
job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a little faster
in providing relief and halting severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading
treatments at Wilson Family Chiropractic for back pain and radiculopathy. We are
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Wilson Family Chiropractic also knows
that our Millville chiropractic patients are excited
to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do
their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients told researcher they went to 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 is tough to make
time at home, and we will keep doing our best at
every visit to care for your spinal condition…and supportively
remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access
to chiropractic affected medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced
access to chiropractic care expanded the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers equated this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a
lot of money and pain. Wilson Family Chiropractic makes itself accessible
to our Millville 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 done
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 pursued
other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Wilson Family Chiropractic delivers
spinal manipulation. Your Millville 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!
Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to acquire
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies aged 8 weeks
to one year 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 experience spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) than the the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This implies that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially reduce
the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5)
Our Millville furry companions are helped with chiropractic
treatment, too!
