“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 ease 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!) 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 primary treatment at
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center with good reason! A rat study regarding the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on reducing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated
that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a little faster
in delivering relief and decreasing severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent
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 us!
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center also understands
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) made sense, 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 continue 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 affected 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 equated this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a
lot of money and pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center makes itself accessible
to our Manahawkin spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42%
of neck pain patients go on to 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 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. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers
spinal manipulation. Your Manahawkin 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 tend to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One 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 a year old, the treated
puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully reduce
the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5)
Our Manahawkin furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
