August 2020 Healthy News from Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: Pain Reducers: Spinal Manipulation and Ginger

Ashburn and Herndon chronic pain patients can rely on Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that adheres to today’s research guidelines and includes spinal manipulation.

CHRONIC MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CARE: SPINAL MANIPULATION

A recent study offers the most up-to-date recommendations on managing and relieving chronic musculoskeletal pain. The aim? Make care more consistent, promote collaborative care among a variety of healthcare providers, and finally improve patient results. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is sure that our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients would appreciate that! Guidelines for musculoskeletal conditions - low back pain, neck pain, tension headache, osteoarthritis (knee and hip) and fibromyalgia – included acupuncture, spinal manipulation/mobilization, modalities (low level laser, electrical current), exercise (yoga), mind-body practices (meditation and cognitive therapy), lifestyle changes (diet, no smoking), and referral for co-management as needed. (1) These recommendations echo and enhance prior such studies. One set of researchers offered reassurance, advice, education, spinal manipulation along with exercise, myofascial therapy or usual medical care when helpful for chronic low back pain. (2) Another research group reviewed complementary medicine for musculoskeletal conditions and stated that good/moderate quality evidence backed using spinal manipulation/mobilization, yoga, and acupuncture for chronic low back pain and neck pain. (3) Spinal manipulation is a well-practiced chiropractic skill while the other suggestions are all available within the personalized Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment plan. Let’s work on your chronic musculoskeletal pain!

Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Ashburn and Herndon PAIN REDUCER: GINGER!

Ginger adds zest to food and to pain-relieving efforts! Pain-reducing effects of ginger come from its anti-oxidant capability and its capacity to inhibit prostaglandins and pain-related nociceptor activity. Ginger’s pain-reducing effect holds promise and is safe by all the most recent studies. (4) Ginger taken orally has been safely done in many studies. One particular study explained that osteoarthritis patients’ pain reduced significantly and disability did as well. (5) Such a simple herb, ginger, holds such zesty promise!
