YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An upbeat mindset, good
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a valuable
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic combines
them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who maintained
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly certain that they could
still do activities regardless of
their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their
pain as the worst ever from which they’d not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Knowing
these issues, researchers and your Millville chiropractor
know that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be managed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to manage issues as we move toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that sets
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is positive improvement. More
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That is where we
work together to maintain your positivity and confidence and come up with a robust
Millville chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Millville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Consider Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond hearing. They discovered that those with
chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on rapidly over a 72-hour period.
This is commonly related to dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5)
We realize inflammation is an enemy when managing Millville back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
