Where is chiropractic medicine in your life, in the lives of other Orchard Park, NY folks? Let
us look at where it is in others’ lives for spine care, back pain relief, and neck pain relief at
Novelli Wellness Center
SPINAL MANIPULATION IS RECOMMENDED
Chiropractic spinal manipulation is recommended for at least
12 weeks before referral for spine surgery for lumbar disc herniation. (1) The
American Medical Association, the American Pain Society, the American College
of Physicians and Harvard Medical School all state spinal manipulation and
chiropractic are first line care for low back pain. (2) Have
you heard that before? Not likely because it is
known to take many years for such new,
proven models to trickle down to general
knowledge. There are even people who (not our
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic clients!) deem chiropractors
are quacks when actually chiropractors are
non-surgical back spine specialists. Your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor at Novelli Wellness Center certainly
is the Orchard Park, NY back pain specialist!
Novelli Wellness Center invites back pain, neck pain
and spine pain patients to our Orchard Park, NY chiropractic office,
particularly the painful cases! For
example, patients who experience recurrent lumbar
disc herniation reportedly respond to non-surgical care and escape
the necessity of reoperation. (3) Reports assert
that from 9 to 33% of people get spinal manipulation for pain and
disability and 98% of those
people see chiropractors. (4)
DEMAND FOR CHIROPRACTIC GROWS
The call for chiropractic spine care is growing.
A majority of neurosurgeons consider a minimum period of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm
pain is the optimal timing before performing surgery for cervical
spine disc herniation. (5) What can such a Orchard Park, NY neck
pain patient do? Chiropractic care at Novelli Wellness Center is a
possibility for pain relief. Another
such study reported that no conclusion is drawn
as to whether surgical or nonsurgical treatment is superior for
individuals with lumbar spine degeneration of discs causing
the condition termed stenosis. Further, a high rate of
adverse effects is reported in three of five surgical groups while
no side effects were reported for any of the conservative
treatment options. (6)
SECOND OPINION IS VALUABLE
A second opinion before spine surgery is a worthy
idea. A study of 137 patients recommended to have lumbar spine
fusion at one institution found on second opinion at a multidisciplinary clinic
that 58% did not require surgery but rather non-surgical treatment.
Of those found to require surgery, the type of surgery was changed in
28% of the patients. (7) Chiropractic spinal manipulation as used at
Novelli Wellness Center has vast success in treating
low back and neck pain and leg and arm pain. Novelli Wellness Center uses
a spinal manipulation technique known as Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Decompression
which integrates placing the spine under distraction to
decompress nerves allowing normal spine motion to return. An
example is a paper reporting flexion–distraction spinal
manipulation used to relieve an L4-L5 disk extrusion causing L5 nerve root
radiculopathy in a 40 year old naval officer. (8)
MIND-BODY PRACTITIONERS (INCLUDING CHIROPRACTORS) HELP
A study of 674 emergency room adult visits revealed
that 500 (74.2%) patients had visited at least
one mind body practitioner (MBP), defined as a chiropractor, acupuncturist,
yoga, or meditation practitioner. People seeking such care were significantly younger and tended
to have private health insurance. 33% saw a chiropractor. Such healthcare
consumers were significantly more prone
to believe that MBP inhibited illness, treated illness, and was
safe, more effective than prescription medicines, supportive
of prescription medications, and more holistic. (9)
