The Fernandina Beach spine pain practitioner guides treatment toward back and neck pain relief in an organized, collaborative fashion.

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

Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the integration 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 reported as 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 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 meant to enhance effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are common 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 collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to get you the pain relief we all want for you! Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

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

Amelia Chiropractic Clinic presents 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 beneficial. In suffering with and seeking 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. The patients’ range of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients report additional benefit when they are involved in their care. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here for support!
