As your Ashburn chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
influence that chiropractic care
can have on various types of
patients). From those struggling with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the effects of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes wanting to return to their sport and/or enhance
their “game”,
chiropractic treatment can
deliver
a variety of benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you should
consider visiting a
chiropractor at
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn for your Ashburn back pain and other
musculoskeletal
conditions.
CHIROPRACTORS DECREASE BACK
PAIN
One of the main reasons people
seek out
Ashburn chiropractic care is to
address back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
published in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients said they chose
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique utilized by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
boosting mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence indicates
that undergoing chiropractic
care
can provide relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Ashburn
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) behind
it 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 REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been growing
worry about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. However,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
alternative for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies revealed
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to use
prescription opioids compared to those who
didn’t get
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the potential role of chiropractors
like yours at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
in positively dealing with the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
lowering
pain and reliance on medication,
many patients describe
high levels of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
mentioned earlier found
that 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very
satisfied with their overall
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
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
