As your Manahawkin chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
impact that various
types of patients can experience from
chiropractic care. From those struggling with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the effects of
extended sitting, and even
athletes looking to return to their sport and/or improve
their “game”,
chiropractic treatment can
deliver
lots benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three key
reasons why you may want to
contemplate visiting a
chiropractor at
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center for your Manahawkin back pain and other
musculoskeletal
conditions.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the main reasons people
look for
Manahawkin chiropractic care is to
manage back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
published in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
chiropractic care for back pain.
Furthermore, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials showed
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique used by
chiropractors) was effective in
decreasing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
increasing mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment at
all. (1) This evidence indicates
that undergoing chiropractic
care
can provide relief for those hurting
with back
pain.
Bonus: Our Manahawkin
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of published clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) performed with respected
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. See
the complete list of case reports and
research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC LOWERS RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been growing
concern about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
option for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
depending on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not receive
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
in positively dealing with the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
In addition to
reducing
pain and reliance on medication,
many patients report
high levels of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
mentioned earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very
satisfied with their overall
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was associated
with significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
give effective
treatment, but it also promotes a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
