Healthy News from Your Minster Chiropractor February 2018
Minster back pain patients are central to our Minster chiropractic practice. Our Minster chiropractic patients’ thoughts and expectations play a role in the care you receive and the clinical outcome from that Minster chiropractic care you get. Research shows that proponents of mind/body practices (like acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, massage, yoga in this paper) deem that these practices treat, prevent and are more efficient than other choices like drugs. (1) It is helpful for all caregivers to understand what their patients are thinking, believe and want. Be sure to communicate that to us! What does a Minster low back pain patient want from a healthcare provider? 90% expected an exam, tests, diagnosis, reassurance, advice, clear explanation for their pain, symptom management, and the benefits/risks of treatment. About 50% hoped to be sent to a specialist. About 60% wanted to discuss life problems. (2) Does that sound like what you are looking for? Minster Chiropractic Center is open to listening, talking, examining, diagnosing and treating you for Minster back pain relief.
Listen to this PODCAST from the Back Doctors' Podcast series of a patient who expected relief without a back surgery and got it with Cox® Technic.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate’s reputation for helping prevent and even potentially regenerate disc cartilage expands. Its anti-inflammatory reputation and effect on osteoarthritis do, too. (Minster Chiropractic Center appreciates seeing the literature reveal this as Minster Chiropractic Center has shared chondroitin sulfate with our Minster chiropractic patients for years!) It is being proposed as a slow-acting agent in the care of low back pain connected with osteoarthritis. (3) It inhibits the actions of inflammatory agents connected to conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. (4, 5) Chondroitin sulfate use in the treatment of low back pain expands. Let’s talk about its role in your own Minster chiropractic treatment plan for Minster back pain relief.
