“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying!
Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for Ashburn back pain
and neck pain sufferers is reported to do the same. Access
just needs to be as easy as access to apples! According
to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation relieve pain and reduce
the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are clearly accessible
to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs were helped by veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn presents
gentle spinal manipulation via a well-informed chiropractic treatment
plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a primary treatment at
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn with good reason! A rat study of the
effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing
neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) showed
that manipulation and mobilization resulted in more pain relief. Manipulation was a little faster
in delivering relief and halting severe
radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading
treatments at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn for back pain and radiculopathy. We’re
here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to us!
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn also knows
that our Ashburn chiropractic patients are excited
to receive in-office care but not always as motivated to do
their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic
patients told researcher they went to their
appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s
recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually did the at-home care. (2) We know it is tough to make
time at home, and we will continue doing our best at
every visit to treat your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED
NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers questioned just how access
to chiropractic affected medical care for older adults with spinal pain. In an analysis
of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, reduced
access to chiropractic care expanded the use of medical
services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions.
The researchers equated this to an additional cost of $114,967
per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That is a
lot of money and pain. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn makes itself accessible
to our Ashburn spine pain sufferers! Additionally, 42%
of neck pain patients experience escalated
treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients
treated with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered
by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to go
onto escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went
on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who sought
other types of care did. They
were at twice the risk of treatment escalation. (4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers
spinal manipulation. Your Ashburn chiropractor is experienced
in performing safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite
good at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting!
Certain dog breeds like boxers tend to develop
spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc
degeneration and bone spurs. One study of boxer puppies from 8 weeks old to one year of age compared puppies treated with
veterinary chiropractic each month to same aged boxers not
treated with chiropractic. At one year of age, the treated
puppies had spondylosis significantly
less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) than the the
control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that
veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially reduce
the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5)
Our Ashburn furry companions benefit with chiropractic
treatment, too!
