The Value of Minster Healthy Living

Minster Chiropractic Center sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Minster chiropractic patients can trust their Minster chiropractor to be a guide to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope with current spine pain issues but also avent future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best avoided.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A new study described that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had decreased risk of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming fruit and vegetables is an additional advantageous healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors are shown to lessen the risk of having long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Wearing a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unstable ground. This may be particularly helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unsteady. (4) Minster Chiropractic Center works with our Minster back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CARE CHOICE
Choice of care for health care issues leads to more healthy behaviors. When patients are given the opportunity to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief shows that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network endorsements, geographical proximity, and credentials of the doctor motivated their choice.
