May 2019 Healthy News: Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Benefits Chronic Pain (Without Opioids) & Athletes
Fernandina Beach chronic pain is extensive. Fernandina Beach opioid use is epidemic. What is a solution? Chiropractic with Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. Why? Opioids were acclaimed as a pill solution for chronic pain…costs soared, risks increased. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research investigation of 62,000 patients in six studies of chiropractic utilization and opioid prescribing, use of chiropractic care fluctuated from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who visited a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain issue were 49% less likely to take a prescription for an opioid than those who went to different healthcare providers. (1) Patients using on-going chiropractic care to manage their chronic low-back and neck pain told researchers that their pain would be more without such chiropractic care. Additionally, they are willing to pay for care to maintain their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost varies from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic highly regard their chiropractic care! Fernandina Beach 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 allowed a patient to “forget” to come see him for a year as his pain was gone!
Fernandina Beach athletes – recreational and professional – crave that edge when they do their activity. Spinal manipulation may be that edge! Elite Taekwondo athletes felt 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 persisted for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase went on for not less than 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - experienced improved performances in two football seasons during which they received spinal manipulation treatments before games. (4) A new 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 slightly lessened performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it enhances your edge. Let’s chat at your next Fernandina Beach chiropractic appointment.
