CHRONIC BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Chronic back pain sends many sufferers to their doctors for relief. Chronic back pain’s effect
on the sufferer and his/her “default mode network” of living often has
something to do the years lived with pain: the longer the pain period,
the more impact the pain has on the patient and his/her
cognitive pain coping attitude. (1) Not shocking, but it’s
now described in the medical literature and will likely
be studied more. It’s also understood that lumbar
spinal stenosis patients differ in their symptom severity and improvement
path from “improving” to “fluctuating/improving” to “persistent.” (2)
Back pain is really an individual journey, one your
chiropractor goes on with you as chiropractic care’s
spinal manipulation is high on clinical practice guidelines’ lists
of noninvasive, non-drug pain therapies. (3) As a matter of
published fact, non-surgical, conservative care choices lead
treatment recommendations lists. Spinal manipulation, chiropractic’s forte, is
a top recommendation in many treatment recommendation lists
by groups like the American College of Physicians and the American Pain
Society. (4) Using chiropractic care and such approaches as mindfulness
- which has been shown to improve pain-related functions - may be most helpful for you. (5)

Ashburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Consider Peppermint
Oil: A Relaxing Boost!
We all may be in need of a boost on occasion. The past few stressful years
are catching up with us. Whether you are tired or healing,
peppermint may add some pep into your system. A recent
study described how inhalation of peppermint post-back-surgery
decreased patients’ anxiety and pain levels. (6) Another
study found that peppermint oil inhalation lowered
cardiac surgery patients’ post-op nausea. (7) Adding peppermint oil to a
footbath for adolescents with primary headache disorder showed that
both the control and participant groups had a significant reduction
in headache pain and decrease in anxiety over time with no adverse events.
95.6% of the participants liked and recommended this! (8) Time
for some relaxation? Peppermint oil may be your friend!
