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

Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the integration of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administrationusual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was found beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care versus 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 used chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the healthcare system is meant to improve effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 want for you!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Borzone  on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes relieving treatment of back pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted a patient to decrease her intake of pain medication as she experienced less and less pain.

Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:  ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Blending efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is helpful. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. 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. The patients’ range of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients report further benefit when they are involved in their care. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here for support!
