Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka Works to Deliver Back Pain Relief Goals You Want
Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Sitka back pain and neck pain patients desire from our Sitka chiropractic care. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka realizes this and provides this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients want. Relief is possible. We’ll talk about how, how much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka always puts our back pain and neck pain patients at the core of care. We listen to what our Sitka chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t do now. It is sensible 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 reports that patient-led goal setting is important alone as part of the treatment plan in getting desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute to their own relief! That is why we ask our Sitka back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do that they can’t do now. The one thing - or several things – our patients want to do are motivating for us both1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka intentionally wants to set realistic expectations that motivate all of us. Many Sitka back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article proposes a few ideas on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery possibilities: (A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) recorded long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) ambiguous parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s look at 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 Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka, our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Sitka chiropractic care of back and neck pain addresses a variety of spinal conditions in patients of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown how spinal stiffness may impact 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 complement the treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in reducing the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka has a way to help our patients get what they want: results.
