Results. Pain Relief. That is what our Ashburn
back pain and neck pain patients want from our
Ashburn chiropractic care. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn realizes
this and delivers this with reasonable expectations in concert
with our spine pain patients desire. Relief
is feasible. We will discuss how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn keeps our back pain and
neck pain patients at the center of care. We listen
to what our Ashburn chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot
do now. It is sensible to put such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies regarding
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain explains
that patient-led goal setting is important alone as part of the treatment plan in getting
desired back pain relief. (1) This is welcome news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute
to their own relief! That’s why we question
our Ashburn back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do are motivating for us
both1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn intentionally wants to establish
realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many Ashburn
back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few thoughts
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) recorded
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear
parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant
removal may be warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s look
at another report that highlights the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. The researchers acknowled that
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may impact the outcomes. (3) At Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is shown beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Ashburn chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares
for a multitude of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown
how spinal stiffness may play a role in positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be applied in the gentlest manner
in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition complement the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in reducing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by eliminating reactive oxygen species! (4)) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
has a way to help our patients get what they want:
results.
