CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both
public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing
patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient encounters
by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people appreciate
chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and
a decreased need for opioids—a huge win considering the
focus on trying to fix the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA
facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of
personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping with both
acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research
within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) shows that
more veterans are coming to chiropractic care for successful,
non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal
issues. (2) This exposes a larger shift in
healthcare, as patients and providers alike see chiropractic
care as a proven, integrative approach to tackling
common issues like back and neck pain. Both patients and public
health leaders are seeing the key role
chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective
pain management. This growth not only shows a positive
change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also presents opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare
systems, helping a wide range of patients. Nice
news! Wilson Family Chiropractic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!

with Dr. Katrina Weiland on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the use of
The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to lower back pain
in an Air Force veteran.
TIP OF THE MONTH: POST-BACK SURGERY PAIN? EXERCISE AND
CHIROPRACTIC HELP!
Exercise and Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal
manipulation can significantly assist back surgery patients managing recovery. Recent research in a 2024
systematic review available in The American Journal of Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation features how exercise helps reduce pain and improve functional
mobility after lumbar disc herniation surgery. (3) Similarly,
the Cox Technic has been tested effective
in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in
11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, according
to a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4)
Together, these approaches enhance recovery and quality of
life, presenting hope to those navigating post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to
refurbishing spine health while reducing
discomfort. So wonderful! Wilson Family Chiropractic welcomes post-back surgery patients seeking additional healing and relief.
