“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Manchester 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 relieve pain and diminish
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible
to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries presents
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
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries with good reason! A rat study of the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on reducing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a bit quicker
in providing relief and easing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading
treatments at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries for back pain and radiculopathy. We are
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries also understands
that our Manchester chiropractic patients are motivated
to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do
their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients told researcher they went to 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 followed through
in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make
time at home, and we’ll continue doing our best at
every visit to manage your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC REDUCED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered 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, less
access to chiropractic care expanded 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 is a
lot of money and pain. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries makes itself accessible
to our Manchester spine pain sufferers! Further, 42%
of neck pain patients receive escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to experience escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went
on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who pursued
other types of care did. They
were at twice the risk of treatment escalation. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries delivers
spinal manipulation. Your Manchester chiropractor is skilled
in delivering safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite
good at doing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Certain dog breeds like boxers tend to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease noted 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 each month to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated
puppies had 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 reduce
the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5)
Our Manchester furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
