YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription Fills, Improve Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment valued by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities incorporating chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administrationusual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was reported as 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 proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the healthcare system is aimed to enhance effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care. (3) Your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all desire for you! Your Largo chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Hollstrom & Associates Inc presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

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

Combining efforts, be it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is helpful. In looking for relief of back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. The recent report of such a combination found 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 improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Largo back pain and neck pain patients report further benefit when they are active in their care.
