YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Decrease Opioid Prescription
Fills, Improve Quality of Life
Chiropractic care is hands-on care appreciated
by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In
a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion
of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including
chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care
plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented
as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results
of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus
chiropractic care in better quality of life scoring as well as
pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system,
older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care
were at significantly lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an
opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to deal with
spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered,
the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the
healthcare system is intended to improve
effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes
are common in spine care. (3) Your Orchard Park, NY
chiropractor at Novelli Wellness Center understands the spine, the conservative
care of its pain, and the value of working with other healthcare
practitioners to get you the pain relief we all desire
for you! Your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain
practitioner!

Orchard Park, NY CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE
MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE
Combining efforts, be it
between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment,
is helpful. In looking for relief of back pain or neck pain, mixing
treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest
report of such a combination found that four 20-minute sessions of
manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective
than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. The patients’ range
of motion improved as did their neck disability and pain
intensity. (4) Orchard Park, NY back pain and neck pain patients report
additional benefit when they are involved in their
care. Novelli Wellness Center is here for support!
