Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Minster
back pain and neck pain patients seek from our
Minster chiropractic care. Minster Chiropractic Center realizes
this and provides this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients desire. Relief
is possible. We’ll talk about how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Minster Chiropractic Center always puts our back pain and
neck pain patients at the core of care. We listen
to what our Minster chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t
do presently. It makes sense to put such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain reports
that patient-led goal setting is effective in and of
itself as part of the treatment plan in attaining
desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute
to their own relief! That is why we ask
our Minster back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they can’t do now. The one thing - or many
things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Minster Chiropractic Center purposely wants to establish
realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many Minster
back pain sufferers deliberate if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few ideas
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may be a factor in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) ambiguous
parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant
removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these ideas in mind, let’s consider another report that highlights the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. The researchers acknowled that
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may have something
to do with the outcomes. (3) At Minster Chiropractic Center, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Minster chiropractic care of back and neck pain addresses a multitude of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown
how spinal stiffness may impact positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be applied in the gentlest manner
in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in slowing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Minster Chiropractic Center
has a way to help our patients get what they want:
results.
