YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
A positive mindset, sound
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mixes
them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who continued with
their pain relief and described an improved quality of
life were also highly certain that they could
still perform activities regardless of
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they would not
get over lessened their recovery outcome. Knowing
these issues, researchers and your Manahawkin chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be discussed and
appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to manage issues as we advance 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 sets
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 good improvement. More
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that mentioned how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to maintain your positivity and confidence and form a robust
Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he shares
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Consider Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond hearing. They discovered that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 72-hour period.
This is commonly associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5)
We realize inflammation is an enemy when dealing
with Manahawkin back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and increased hip fracture risk, too! Pay
attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they develop.
