Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic for March 2017
In a new report, researchers report on treatment outcomes of patients with implanted spinal stimulators for post-surgical continued back pain management. Patients with these devices have “failed back surgery syndrome” with continued back pain post surgically. After being treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation or mobilization, patients with these stimulators reported no adverse side effects. (1) The first rule of being a physician is “Do no harm”. Spinal manipulation and mobilization meet that rule in this study’s findings. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers Fernandina Beach chiropractic care that does not harm. Schedule a visit today!
Chronic Neck Pain Patients Walk More Stiffly
Chronic neck pain patients seem to walk more stiffly. Why? Their stride is shorter and their mid-spine does not rotate as much. This will likely have long term effects on the spine. (2) What to do? Amelia Chiropractic Clinic’s recommendation: Don’t let neck pain become chronic. Seek Fernandina Beach chiropractic care relief sooner than later, and walk less stiffly.
150 minutes of Exercise a Week – For All of Us Especially After Back Surgery
National guidelines suggest that we all get 150 minutes of exercise a week. Only 52% of us Fernandina Beach non-back pain folks do this! Sadly, even fewer - just 26% - post-back surgery patients do this. It’s shown that 150 minutes keeps post-surgical back pain patients moving and away from another surgery. They also have less back pain after surgery. (3) Physical exercise is so effective. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages a simple walk a day to all Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients.
Placebo and Pain Meds for Back and Leg Pain Similar
NSAIDs offer similar pain relief and overall improvement as placebo but with higher risk of adverse side-effects says a new meta-analysis, a high form of research reporting. And NSAIDs continue to be one of the most frequently prescribed meds for sciatica! (4) NSAIDs are reported as effective for spine pain in a different study, but the difference is not clinically significant between NSAIDs and placebo. It further states that there are no simple analgesics that give clinically important relief over placebo. (5) Well, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic’s non-drug Fernandina Beach chiropractic care is pain-relieving! Contact Amelia Chiropractic Clinic today for an appointment.
