Minster 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 Minster back pain and neck pain sufferers is documented 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 easily accessible to back and neck pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Minster 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 Minster Chiropractic Center for good reason! A rat study of 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 faster in delivering relief and easing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are prominent treatments at Minster 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! Minster Chiropractic Center also understands that our Minster 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 told researcher they went to their appointments. That is 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 will keep doing our best at every visit to care for your spinal condition…and supportively remind 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 equated this to an additional cost of $114,967 per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a lot of money and suffering. Minster Chiropractic Center makes itself accessible to our Minster spine pain sufferers! Further, 42% of neck pain patients get 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 undergo escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Minster Chiropractic Center delivers spinal manipulation. Your Minster chiropractor is skilled in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are skilled at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Some dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to develop spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease noted by disc degeneration and bone spurs. A 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 implies that veterinary chiropractic treatment may successfully lessen the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis.
