YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription
Fills, Improve Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment valued
by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is organized for the inclusion
of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities incorporating
chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care
plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented
as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results
of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus
chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as
pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system,
older beneficiaries with spinal pain who used chiropractic care
were at significantly lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the
healthcare system is meant to improve
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are familiar in spine care. (3) Your Ashburn
chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare
practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all desire
for you! Your Ashburn chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details
back pain relieving care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that triggered
a patient to decrease her intake of pain
medication as she experienced less and less pain.
Ashburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Blending efforts, be it
between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment,
is beneficial. In suffering
with and seeking relief of back pain or neck pain, mixing
treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The recent
report of such a combination stated that four 20-minute sessions of
manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective
than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. Their range
of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain
intensity. (4) Ashburn back pain and neck pain patients find
additional benefit when they are active in their
care. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is here for support!
