Healthy living. How do you describe
that? Do you live it? Do
you know what behaviors are healthy? Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is all about
healthy living. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Sitka chiropractic patients can expect
their Sitka chiropractor to be a guide to the
healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them cope
with current spine pain issues but also avent
future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other
health issues that are best prevented.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good
diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A recent
study showed that men who took advantage of
more of these healthy choices had lower possibility
of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating
fruit and vegetables is an additional favorable
healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to reduce the risk
of having long term upsetting low
back pain in women and even potentially improve
the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Taking part in a
community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances
the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Using
a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control
when standing on unlevel ground. This may be particularly
welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they
are predisposed to be more unsteady. (4) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka works with our Sitka back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CHOICE OF CARE
Choice of care for health care
issues encourages more healthy behaviors. When
patients are able to choose their provider for back
pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower
than if they sought care from their medical doctor first and were
referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and
outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain
relief found that their familiarity with
the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, geographical
proximity, and credentials of
the doctor prompted
their choice. (6)
