The Value of Ashburn and Herndon Healthy Living
Healthy living. How do you define that? Do you embody it? Do you know what behaviors are healthy? Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is all about healthy living. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients can believe their Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor to be a guide to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them deal with current spine pain issues but also avent future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A new study showed that men who abided by more of these healthy choices had lower possibility of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional advantageous healthy behavior. This plus the other behaviors are shown to lessen the risk of having long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially improve the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Wearing a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground. This may be particularly helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn works with our Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CARE CHOICE
Choice of care for health care issues encourages more healthy behaviors. When patients are able to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access results in a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief found that their familiarity with the doctor’s treatment, social network endorsements, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and credentials of the doctor prompted their choice.
