YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription Fills, Enhance Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was found beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who used chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is aimed to improve effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care.

Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries shares a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Blending efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest report of such a combination stated that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. Their range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Manchester back pain and neck pain patients report additional benefit when they are involved in their care.
