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

Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the integration of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities incorporating chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was reported as beneficial. There was a significant difference in the outcomes of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus chiropractic care in better quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is aimed to enhance effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care.

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

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

Combining efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is beneficial. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest report of such a combination stated 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. The patients’ range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Manahawkin back pain and neck pain patients find further benefit when they are active in their care.
