Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ roads to recovery depend on pain reducing treatment, self-care, and positive mindset.

YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG

An optimistic mindset, sound self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a valuable recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mingles them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain patients for a year recorded that those who maintained their pain relief and stated an improved quality of life were also highly self-assured that they could still do activities despite their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their pain as horrible and from which they’d not get over reduced their recovery outcome. Knowing these factors, researchers and your Fernandina Beach chiropractor know that realistic expectations must be discussed and understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients to manage issues as we advance toward pain relief and a better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other red flags is positive improvement. Additional good news emanates from a scoping review of papers regarding spine-pain related factors that noted how many issues are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we act together to maintain your positivity and confidence and come up with a robust Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

$Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recognizes inflammation’s role in pain and shares how it may be a link between otitis media ear infection and increased hip fracture risk. Interesting research!$

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link

A recent study compared those with chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond its ability to hear. They discovered that those with chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more susceptible to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked to a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day period. This is commonly related to dizziness and ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5) We know inflammation is an enemy in managing Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain, and it is apparently an enemy of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Pay attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they occur. We are here to help with chiropractic services! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and you form a great team.
