“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Largo 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 easily accessible
to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited
from 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 with good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
that manipulation and mobilization did a better
job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a bit faster
in delivering relief and easing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading
treatments at Hollstrom & Associates Inc for back pain and radiculopathy. We are
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Hollstrom & Associates Inc also understands
that our Largo chiropractic patients are excited
to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do
their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients reported making their
appointments. That’s 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 did 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 manage your spinal condition…and supportively
remind you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access
to chiropractic influenced medically-directed spinal pain care
in older adults. 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 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 experience escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients underwent escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. They
were at twice the risk of treatment escalation. (4) Hollstrom & Associates Inc offers
spinal manipulation. Your Largo chiropractor is experienced
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at doing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency 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 each month 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) than the 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 Largo furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
