Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Williamson
back pain and neck pain patients seek from our
Williamson chiropractic care. Apple Country Chiropractic knows
this and delivers this with reasonable expectations in concert
with our spine pain patients desire. Relief
is feasible. We’ll talk about how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Apple Country Chiropractic keeps our back pain and
neck pain patients at the center of care. We listen
to what our Williamson chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t
do now. It makes sense to place such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain explains
that patient-led goal setting is effective in and of
itself as a treatment element to attaining
desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can help in their own relief! That’s why we ask
our Williamson back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Apple Country Chiropractic intentionally wants to establish
realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many Williamson
back pain sufferers question if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few ideas
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may be a factor in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear
parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant
removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these ideas in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: reduced
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly,
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may have something
to do with the outcomes. (3) At Apple Country Chiropractic, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is shown beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Williamson chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares
for a multitude of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown
how spinal stiffness may play a role in positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be delivered in the gentlest manner
in several doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research reported on
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in slowing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Apple Country Chiropractic
has a way to deliver what our patients want:
results.
