Chiropractic Use Grows!
Chiropractic use grows along with the use of
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). More use demonstrates how recent
generations are seeking more than conventional medical care
for their health, necessitating doctors to discuss CAM with their patients. (1) Wilson Family Chiropractic hears from our
Millville chiropractic patients that these discussions do take
place. Chiropractic is
one of the largest manual therapy professions in the US and around
the world. 63% of back
pain patients and 30% of neck pain patients seek card from a chiropractor.
These chiropractic patients add that chiropractic enhances
their overall health and well-being, too. (2) Millville chiropractic
patients agree! Demand for chiropractic will continue to
grow as chiropractors are specially trained back pain specialists who rely on
the clinical examination to determine a diagnosis and establish
a treatment plan based on it. They utilize MRI and other
imaging studies not to diagnose but to validate their clinical exam
findings, a protocol which is called for today in the medical literature
because MRI and clinical symptoms don’t correlate well.
The MRI may show several spinal issues or no issues at all which leaves
the doctor to rely on clinical exam findings for the
treatment plan and relief. (3) That is just what your Millville chiropractor does! Chiropractic
use is really expanding for good reason!
TIP OF THE MONTH: Curcumin Improves Radicular Low
Back Pain
Curcumin is all the rave in natural
pain relief today…and with good reason! A new study reports that
cucumin is non-toxic, natural, and exceptionally
anti-inflammatory even lessening lumbar
radiculopathy pain by diminishing
neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and nociceptive factors. Some laboratory findings show that
curcumin even promotes disc height recovery after disc herniation.
Curcumin may be the new and safe way to treat
radiculopathy. No more of the
non-effective and unsafe use of current non-surgical medical treatments (like epidural
steroids and Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists). (4) Curcumin is such an accessible and effective pain reliever to add to the Millville chiropractic non-surgical treatment plan!
