As your Millville chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
influence that all sorts of patients can experience from
chiropractic care. From those dealing
with back pain to office
workers managing
the effects of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes wanting to return to their sport and/or enhance
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
a variety of benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you may want to
contemplate seeing a
chiropractor at
Wilson Family Chiropractic for your Millville back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
look for
Millville chiropractic care is to
address back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
published in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials showed
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique used by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
increasing mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence indicates
that seeing a chiropractor
can give relief for those hurting
with back
pain.
Bonus: Our Millville
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of published clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) done with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. See
the complete list of case reports and
research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC LOWERS RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been expanded
concern about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. However,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
option for handling
musculoskeletal pain without
depending on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who received
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
didn’t get
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Wilson Family Chiropractic
in positively dealing with the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
In addition to
reducing
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients describe
high levels of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
mentioned earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported that
they were satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study published in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was associated
with significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
deliver effective
treatment, but it also advances a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
detailed patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
