Instead of opioids, Manahawkin chiropractic is valuable for chronic pain management and relief.

Chronic Pain: Opioids? Use Chiropractic Instead.

Manahawkin chronic pain is rampant. Manahawkin opioid use is widespread. What’s an effective option? Chiropractic with Manahawkin Chiropractic Center. Why? Opioids were hailed as a pill answer for chronic pain…costs increased, risks rose. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research analysis of 62,000 patients in 6 studies of chiropractic use and opioid prescribing, usage of chiropractic care ranged from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who visited a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain issue were 49% less apt to take a prescription for an opioid than those who went to different healthcare providers. (1) Patients using on-going chiropractic care to cope with their chronic low-back and neck pain expressed to researchers that their pain would be higher without such chiropractic care. Additionally, they are willing to pay for care to maintain their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost ranges from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Manahawkin chiropractic patients at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center appreciate their chiropractic care! Manahawkin chiropractic services benefit chronic pain in addition to or without opioids.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how chronic back pain treatment without opioids using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management permitted a patient to “forget” to visit him for a year as his pain was absent!

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers spinal manipulation to athletes of all types – recreational and professional – to enhance their efforts.

Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Spinal Manipulation Before Sports

Manahawkin athletes – recreational and professional – crave that edge when they do their activity. Spinal manipulation could be just that! Elite Taekwondo athletes felt improved muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The added force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors went on for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase continued for not less than 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - felt increased performances in two football seasons during which they obtained pre-game spinal manipulation treatments. (4) A recent report said that a single pre-exercise SMT brought about a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and slightly diminished performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it enhances your edge. Let us chat at your next Manahawkin chiropractic appointment.
