“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Plainville back pain
and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access
needs to be just as simple as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and lessen
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible
to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited
from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Layden Chiropractic offers
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at
Layden Chiropractic with good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a little quicker
in providing relief and easing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent
treatments at Layden Chiropractic for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Layden Chiropractic also knows
that our Plainville chiropractic patients are eager
to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do
their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients said they made their
appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually did the at-home care. (2) We know it is tough to make
time at home, and we will continue doing our best at
every visit to treat your spinal condition…and supportively
remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC REDUCED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access
to chiropractic influenced medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced
access to chiropractic care increased the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers equated this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That’s a
lot of money and pain. Layden Chiropractic makes itself accessible
to our Plainville spine pain sufferers! Further, 42%
of neck pain patients get escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
treated with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is performed
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to undergo escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who pursued
other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Layden Chiropractic offers
spinal manipulation. Your Plainville chiropractor is experienced
in delivering safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at doing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Some dog breeds like boxers tend to acquire
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with
veterinary chiropractic monthly to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated
puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially lessen
the probably of young boxers developing spondylosis. (5)
Our Plainville furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
