Manahawkin Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying! Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Manahawkin 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 relieve pain and lessen the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers gentle spinal manipulation via a well-explained chiropractic treatment plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a staple treatment at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center for good reason! A rat study regarding the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on lessening neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a bit quicker in providing relief and decreasing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading treatments at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center for back pain and radiculopathy. We are here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center also knows that our Manahawkin chiropractic patients are excited to receive in-office care but not always as eager to do their at-home care. They’re 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) were understandable, but only 44% of them actually followed through in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it is 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 wondered 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, reduced access to chiropractic care increased the use of medical services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions. The researchers likened this to an additional cost of $114,967 per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That’s a lot of money and pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center makes itself accessible to our Manahawkin spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42% of neck pain patients experience escalated treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients managed with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered 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 pursued other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center delivers spinal manipulation. Your Manahawkin chiropractor is skilled in delivering safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite good at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Certain dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic monthly to same aged boxers not treated with chiropractic. At a year old, the treated puppies were found to have 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.
