YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An upbeat mindset, good
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial
mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic blends
them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who maintained
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still participate in activities despite
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they’d not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Knowing
these factors, researchers and your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be discussed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we move toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is constructive improvement. Additional
good news arises from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and create a robust
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents
what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Orchard Park, NY CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A new study compared those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more susceptible
to a increased risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study reported
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on rapidly over a 3 day period.
This is often related to dizziness and
ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy in managing Orchard Park, NY back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they occur.
