Cox Chiropractic Medicine Incs Healthy News for March 2017
In a new report, researchers share treatment outcomes of patients with implanted spinal stimulators for post-surgical continued back pain management. Patients with these devices have “failed back surgery syndrome” with continued back pain post surgically. After being treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation or mobilization, the patients in the study reported no adverse side effects. (1) The first rule of being a physician is “Do no harm”. This study shows how spinal manipulation and mobilization do just that. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers Fort Wayne chiropractic care that does not harm. Schedule a visit today!
Chronic Neck Pain Patients Walk More Stiffly
Patients with chronic neck pain have a shorter stride and less thoracic spinal rotation when walking. This will likely have long term effects on the spine. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc’s best advice: Don’t let neck pain turn chronic. Seek Fort Wayne chiropractic care relief sooner than later, and walk less stiffly.
150 minutes of Exercise a Week – For All of Us Especially After Back Surgery
National guidelines suggest that we all get 150 minutes of exercise a week. How many of us Fort Wayne folks do? Just 52%! Sadly, even fewer - just 26% - post-back surgery patients do this. It’s shown that 150 minutes keeps post-surgical back pain patients moving and away from another surgery. They also feel less back pain after surgery. (3) Physical exercise is so important. Our Fort Wayne chiropractic practice promotes a walk a day to all Fort Wayne chiropractic patients.
Pain Medications for Back and Leg Pain – Not Effective Over Placebo
NSAIDs offer similar pain relief and overall improvement as placebo but with higher risk of adverse side-effects says a new meta-analysis, a high form of research reporting. And NSAIDs continue to be one of the most frequently prescribed meds for sciatica! (4) NSAIDs are reported as effective for spine pain in a different study, but the difference is not clinically relevant between NSAIDs and placebo. It further states that there are no simple analgesics that give clinically important relief over placebo.
