Largo Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“An apple a day…” Everyone can finish that saying! Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Largo back pain and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation ease pain and diminish the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 Hollstrom & Associates Inc for good reason! A rat study regarding the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a bit quicker in delivering relief and halting severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent treatments at Hollstrom & Associates Inc for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office! Hollstrom & Associates Inc also knows that our Largo chiropractic patients are motivated to receive in-office care but not always as excited to do their at-home care. They’re not alone! 89% of chiropractic patients reported making their appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) were understandable, 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 keep doing our best at every visit to treat your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access to chiropractic affected 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 suffering. Hollstrom & Associates Inc makes itself accessible to our Largo spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42% of neck pain patients go on to 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 require 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. Their risk of treatment escalation was double.

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 distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies aged 8 weeks to one year compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic monthly to same aged boxers not treated with chiropractic. At one year of age, 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 implies that veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully lessen the probably of young boxers getting spondylosis. (5) Our Largo furry companions benefit with chiropractic treatment, too!
